Luxembourg Museum

The Luxembourg Museum, housed in the former greenhouse of the Luxembourg Palace in Paris's 6th arrondissement, has a singular history: it was Paris's first public painting gallery (1750-1780), displaying part of the royal collection that would later form the core of the Louvre, and in 1818 it became the first museum of contemporary art. Since 2000, managed by the Ministry of Culture and the French Senate, it has been devoted exclusively to temporary exhibitions. Its current programme includes the exhibition 'Andy Warhol. La ligne et l'image' (16 September 2026 to 10 January 2027), accompanied by events such as talks and family visits. The museum has no permanent collection, so a visit centres on the current temporary exhibition.
