Paris 2015. MAJOR EXHIBITIONS from A to Z<

The program of exhibitions in Paris in 2015 is clearly taking on its soon-to-be definitive form with the arrival of the novelties for the 2nd semester. We therefore present it to you again this year as completely as possible (see 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011). These events are classified by subject, so that everyone can draw their personal honeys, and find their preferences more easily.

Direct access: A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H - I - J - K - L - M - N - O - P - Q - R - S - T - U -V-W-X-Y-Z

For those of you who know how to organize in advance, we are offering a 2015 CALENDAR presentation of major exhibitions in Paris, as we did in 2014, 2013, 2012...

This program mixes the events started in 2014 and continuing in 2015, and those already known, all new, from 2015. It can still be enriched over time, museum managers sometimes hesitating to release information that they would still like to refine, and elements will undoubtedly vary (small modifications of titles or dates). Our articles must therefore be regularly supplemented and updated, and your judicious suggestions will always be welcome.

Do not hesitate to participate in the permanent improvement of this list by indicating to us the exhibitions that we could have forgotten and which seem to you to be of particular interest.

We tell you every week what's new, our favorites, and the exhibitions that will soon close their doors: THE WEEK of exhibitions, museums and galleries: what to do in Paris from....

***

We also present their programming for the most active French cities in this area as soon as we learn of it. See end of article.

Similarly, we are informing you of some 2015 exhibitions for European cities: Amsterdam, Basel, Brussels, Geneva, London, Madrid, Milan, and Venice.

***

Against the artistic news that chases away what we thought we were capable of retaining, exhibition catalogs can have, when they are made with high standards, a certain role in play. As they are published, we establish our selection of exhibition catalogs for 2015, as we did in previous years: 2014, 2013, 2012. See also: www.laffairesdescatalogues.org.

Against the artistic news that chases away what we thought we were capable of retaining, exhibition catalogs can have, when they are made with high standards, a certain role to play. We establish, as they are published, our selection of the 2017 Paris exhibition catalogs, as we have done in previous years: 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012.

We also offer a selection of museums and exhibitions in 2017 in the following French cities, which we strive to keep fairly regularly updated: - Aix-en-Provence - Albi - Les Alpilles - Angers, - Angoulême- Antibes - Arles - Aubagne - Avignon: Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue - Bègles - Biarritz - Biot, - Blois - Bordeaux - Bourg-en-Bresse - Cagnes-sur-Mer , - Cannes, - Carcassonne - Dijon - Grasse- Grenoble - Hyères - Ile-de-France: Auvers/Oise, Boulogne-Billancourt, Bussy-Saint-Martin, Chamarande, Chantilly, Châtenay-Malabry, Compiègne, Écouen, Fontainebleau, Giverny , Isle-Adam, Jouy-en-Josas, Malmaison, Marne-la-Vallée, Meudon, Milly-la-Forêt, Noisiel, Pantin, Pierrefitte/Seine, Poissy, Pontoise, Royaumont, Rueil-Malmaison, Saint-Cloud , Saint-Denis, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, Sceaux, Sèvres, Versailles, Vitry/Seine, Yerres - Le Cannet - Le Havre - Lens - Le Rayol - Le Canadel/Mer - Les Sables-d'Olonne - Libourne - Lille: Villeneuve d'Ascq, Roubaix, Tourcoing, Croix, Graveline, Cassel, Valenciennes - Lodève - Lyon - Marseille - Martigues - Metz - Monaco, - Montauban - Montpellier - Mougins, - Nantes - Narbonne - Nice - Nîmes - Ornans - Rennes: Landernau, Quimper - Rodez - Rouen - Saint-Étienne - Saint-Nazaire- Saint-Paul-de-Vence, - Saint-Tropez - Sérignan - Sète - Strasbourg - Toulon - Toulouse - Tours - Valence - Vallauris - Vence - Vendome - Villeurbanne
