Archaeologists in Angkor
Images from the French School of Asian Studies

Angkor site is one of the largest preindustrial city of Asia overgrown by the jungle since its neglect in the 16th century. This exhibition about the centenary action of the French School of Asian Studies (EFEO) in Angkor will take place at the Cernuschi Museum.
Visitors will discover the different outstanding periods of the Angkor site, through 108 pictures (1860-1960) of the temples taken before their cleaning, while they were still surrounded by huge trees, and then during and after their restoration.
The exhibition will also present some documents concerning the French archaeologists’ presence in Angkor as well as two instruments allowing visitors to view stereo slides. A particular pedagogic effort will allow public to become familiar with the Khmer Empire’s history through its main imperial monuments.

Rubens, Poussin and more
The Flemish dominance and the French Artistic Scene in the XVIIth century

The Rubens, Poussin and 17th century artists exhibition assembles around sixty paintings from some of the best private and public collections in Europe. It offers a unique view of two artistic movements of the XVIIth century: Flemish Baroque painting, of which Rubens is the chief protagonist, and the French Classical school led by Poussin and the influence they had on each other.

Claude Monet
Two hundred canvasses at the Grand Palais

The most important retrospective on Monet in the last 30 years, with almost 200 canvasses, some of which have never been shown before, the museum invites you to find out all about the career of this master of painting along certain thematic and chronological axes.
From the 1860s until the Water Lilies series in the Musée de l’Orangerie, you can come across the first Normandy marine atmospheres and colour landscapes of the banks of the Seine. You can also admire his still life paintings and portraits from the end of the 1890s and of course, all of the pictures he painted in his legendary garden in Giverny in which his work on the changes of the light through the seasons marked a turning point in his painting.
