[LUXUS MAGAZINE] The most eagerly awaited international exhibitions at the start of 2026

From January to March, museums renew their exhibition programs. A look at seven cultural showcases not to be missed, from Paris to London and New York.

 

Martin Parr – Global Warning in Paris

 

The exhibition Global Warning at the Jeu de Paume in Paris, opening on January 30, 2026, offers a retrospective dive into the prolific work of Martin Parr, who passed away on December 6, 2025. A major figure in documentary photography, Parr spent more than fifty years portraying—both sharply and tenderly—our ways of life shaped by mass tourism, rampant consumerism, and the omnipresence of technology. Around 180 works, divided into five sections, will be presented.

A Day in the 18th Century: Chronicle of a Parisian Townhouse, at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, offers from February 18 to July 5, 2026 a fully immersive experience into the life of an aristocratic Parisian residence in the 1780s. More than 550 original objects—mostly from the museum’s collections and rarely shown—invite visitors to rediscover the art of living of the period. Furniture, wood paneling, wallpapers, ceramics, jewelry, clothing, toys, and fashion accessories recreate the intimate world of the owners, servants, and household animals. Through a cinematic, sound-based, and olfactory staging, visitors move from room to room like a privileged friend of the family.
