What if your good resolution for the new year was to cultivate yourself a little more? Because spending your evenings chilling in front of Netflix is nice, but well, it's a bit of a shame when we see the abundance of exhibitions around us. So without further ado, we choose our gem among the most beautiful exhibitions of the month of January, and we head to the museum.


Ndayé Kouagou. A Change of Perspective at Plateau Frac Île-de-France

This is the first time that a French institution has dedicated a solo exhibition to the artist Ndayé Kouagou. And it was about time. The Plateau Frac Île-de-France invites you to discover a work as complex as it is intriguing, which seeks above all to question us and to make us reflect. Videos, paintings, and performances succeed one another to deliver the artist's dualistic texts. A decidedly modern exhibition, which combines personal reflections and essential universal messages. A must-see.

Berthe Morisot and the 18th century art at Musée Marmottan Monet

She is undoubtedly the most important woman of the Impressionist movement. Berthe Morisot is now celebrated, rightfully so, by Musée Marmottan Monet, not just as a muse, but as a complete artist. Her pastel paintings are filled with endless sweetness and poetry, and are presented here in dialogue with works by prominent painters of the 18th century, such as Fragonard, Watteau, and Boucher, highlighting their crazy originality.
