Guest of Honour:
The Musée du Grand Siècle

The Musée du Grand Siècle, which is scheduled to open in 2028, presented its project and collections at Fine Arts Paris.

It offered a preview of the “Grand Siècle” display, which will be installed in its future permanent galleries in Saint-Cloud, featuring a selection of paintings, sculptures, furniture, precious objects and everyday items that tell the story of the arts, sciences and society in 17th-century France.

“New Horizons”: A new section championing new dealers and contemporary makers

It welcomed eleven dealers who were just starting their activity or who had never exhibited at an international fair, as well as contemporary makers across fields as varied as jewellery, ceramics and textiles.
