L’Objet

The exhibition “L’Objet” brings modern and contemporary works from the Centre Pompidou into the Louvre’s Decorative Arts galleries. By placing these collections in dialogue, it explores what turns an object into a work of art: its form, techniques and uses, as well as the way artists see it.

In the Richelieu and Sully wings, on the palace’s first floor, this encounter unfolds within the decorative arts collections themselves. It invites visitors to consider the object as a link between eras, and between decoration, artistic creation and design. The exhibition is part of the Centre Pompidou’s Constellation programme and its 50th-anniversary celebrations.
