The Petit Palais is presenting for the first time a selection of close to 150 pastels from its own collection. The exhibition offers an exhaustive overview of the main artistic currents of the second half of the 19th-century, from Impressionism to Symbolism.

From the tradition of flower painting to the aesthetic breaks of modernity, the exhibition highlights the rich artistic, aesthetic and friendly exchanges between Dutch and French painters, from the reign of Napoleon to the early twentieth century.

The inaugural temporary exhibition aims to put Casa Vicens in an international context with a view of single-family homes designed by Gaudí?s most important contemporaries: the timeline of these figures begins with Viollet-le-Duc and William Morris, who were key in Gaudí?s training, and then moves to great American architects from the first generation of the Modern Architecture movement (Richardson, Sullivan and Wright), European architects of the same generation (Berlage, Wagner and others), and finishes up with various expressions of Art Nouveau (Horta, Guimard, Mackintosh and Olbirch).

This exhibition will present masterpieces of the Arts & Crafts movement, which arose in Great Britain around 1880. It was a movement born from ideals, the concern for the effects of industrialisation in design, know-how and everyday life. It advocated a reactivation of traditional arts and crafts, a return to a simpler way of life and an improvement in the design of ordinary domestic objects. Its maximum ideologist was the artist and writer William Morris (1834-1896).

The exhibition "WOW! The Heidi Horten Collection" is the first public presentation of one of the most impressive European private collections.

Featuring more than 150 works from 100 years of art history, the presentation affords individual insights into the spectrum of art and artists united by Heidi Goess-Horten under one roof.

On display will be works by Marc Chagall, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paul Klee, Gustav Klimt, August Macke, Franz Marc, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Egon Schiele, Francis Bacon, Georg Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jean Dubuffet, Lucio Fontana, Lucian Freud, Damien Hirst, Alex Katz, Yves Klein, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol and many others.

The presentation will include a selection of drawings, photographs, and sketches for objects ranging from windows to baptismal fonts, that reveal something of the creative processa t Tiffany?s firm.

This exhibition provides an intimate view of the innovator who built the artistic empire of Tiffany Studios, a man who found inspiration, for example, in farm scenes, children playing in the surf, and boats on the Hudson River.

105 years after the official inauguration of the Wolfers Frères jewellery store in 1912, visitors will once again be able to admire the shop in its original form. To do this, the Cinquantenaire museum has cleared a room of approximately the same shape and area as that originally foreseen by Victor Horta in the building in rue d?Arenberg in Brussels

It is the story of a shop unlike anything built nowadays. Over 100 years old, it is the last semi-industrial building designed by Victor Horta that is still in existence! During the first 70 years of its life, cloth and fabrics were sold there, as planned by Charles Waucquez.
Witness to the transformation of Brussels, in a district that is without doubt the one that had suffered most from 20th century progress, the shop closed in 1970, and thereafter experienced its most difficult years. Then new hopes, new projects appeared.
In 1984, the building was bought by the federal State, with the aim of establishing a museum devoted to comic strip.
