Fine Arts Paris 2026 to Preview Musée du Grand Siècle at Grand Palais
Fine Arts Paris will take place at the Grand Palais in Paris from September 19 to 23, 2026, presenting an exclusive preview of the upcoming Musée du Grand Siècle. Under the leadership of president Xavier Eeckhout, the event will feature approximately one hundred international galleries, a dedicated area for emerging artists, live restoration demonstrations, and VIP tours of partner museums. Charles Zana has designed the fair to resemble a temporary city with unique villages. A focus will be placed on sculpture and portraiture, with seven exhibitors displaying fine jewelry. The 'Nouveaux Horizons' section will showcase young galleries from Belgium and France. The Musée du Grand Siècle, set to open in 2028, will center on 17th-century French art. The fair coincides with European Heritage Days, granting free entry to the first 200 attendees.
