Is Art Nouveau a style? Or could it be better described as a state of mind and an insatiable faith in modernity? Maison Hannon presents "Belgian Art Nouveau: Van de Velde, Serrurier-Bovy, Hankar & Co", an exhibition devoted to the Belgian Art Nouveau movement in all its diversity. With a wide range of pieces from public and private collections, many of which have never been seen before.

The installation, based on the museum's extensive collection of around 1,800 drawings by the artist, reveals the dominant theme of the life and work of the Austrian printmaker, illustrator and writer Alfred Kubin (1877-1959).

Although little known outside her country, Harriet Backer (1845?1932) was the most renowned female artist in late nineteenth-century Norway. A painter, teacher and mentor to painters, she was highly acclaimed for her rich, luminous use of colour, in an eminently personal style that blended interior scenes with open-air painting. She drew inspiration from the realist movement as well as from the innovations of Impressionism, with free brushstrokes and meticulous attention to variations in light. She is also famous for her tender portraits of rural life and her interest in church interiors.

The exhibition will bring together the most beloved of Van Gogh's paintings from across the globe, some of which are rarely seen in public, and they will be paired with his extraordinary drawings. Among them will be Starry Night Over the Rhône and The Yellow House, as well as the National Gallery's own Sunflowers and Van Gogh's Chair.

The Albertina Museum is honoring Egon Schiele, one of expressionism's most important visual artists, with a revolutionary exhibition. Based on a concept originated by Ciprian Adrian Barsan, it envisions a return of Schiele's lost works-known only from black-and-white photographs- courtesy of Adrian Ghenie's hauntingly emphatic artistic abilities.

Gabriele Münter (1877-1962) was one of the founders of The Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter), the legendary group of Expressionist artists based in Munich.
The exhibition, which includes more than one hundred paintings, drawings, prints and photographs, aims to reveal an artist who rebelled against the limits imposed on women of her day and who succeeded in becoming one of the most notable figures of German Expressionism in the early 20th century.

The theme of the installation is the changing relationship between the poster as an artistic and creative medium and the role played in it by women. Male poster designers from the first heyday of German poster design, from 1905 to 1921 approximately, used woman as a theme and women as models in a variety of ways.
The show and the accompanying exhibition catalogue present a selection from the collections of F. W. Neess and Maximilian Karagöz, showing the diverse public portrayals of women on posters. Works skilfully communicated social ideas of the day on what women should be. They conveyed what behaviour was socially desirable, what freedoms were conceivable, but also which boundaries were non-negotiable.
However, in this time women also designed posters professionally, even when they had to do it in opposition to gender prejudices. Their designs showed the growing confidence of women to move away from one-off handicrafts and small formats to large-format, mass-produced advertisements. It could be said, therefore, that these women championed emancipation through poster design.

The exhibition takes visitors on an artistic journey that links two emblematic cities, combining the bohemian light of Paris with the vibrant colours of Barcelona. The exhibition pays tribute to the talent of great artists such as Ramón Casas, Santiago Rusiñol, Juan Cardona, Javier Gosé, Alphonse Mucha, Georges de Feure, Joaquín Torres García, Isidro Nonell... and many others, who captured the spirit and beauty of these two modernist capitals with a unique sensitivity. Each work on display is a window to a world of details, textures and emotions that will not leave you indifferent.

The central theme of the inaugural exhibition of this art centre is flowers in the style of the Dutch Art Nouveau. With masterpieces and surprising objects from the collection of the Drents Museum, this show takes the visitor on a journey into the floral imagination around 1900.

The show includes works by Chris Lebeau, Julie de Graag, Simon Moulijn, Johanna van Eijbergen, Carel Adolphe Lion Cachet, Ruud van Empel and Saskia Boelsums.

The exhibition presents a journey that traces the painter's growing interest in floral elements. Through Anglada-Camarasa's oils, drawings, photographs, prints and clothing, we can see how flowers became an important element in his paintings and how they shaped his life.

The exhibition reappraises the work of Art Nouveau pioneer Alphonse Mucha (b. 1860, Ivančice, Moravia, Austrian Empire; d. 1939, Prague, Czechoslovakia) and explores his impact on graphic art since the 1960s. This exhibition provides an opportunity to survey the development of Mucha's style, and to explore how his art was rediscovered by later generations of artists. Mucha was a key influence on Psychedelic Art of the 1960s-1970s, as well as on a wide range of visual culture from the late 20th century to today, exemplified by American comics, Japanese manga, and street murals.

Palazzo Bonaparte presents "Munch: The Inner Cry", a major retrospective exhibition, with 100 works from the Munch Museum in Oslo dedicated to Edvard Munch.

The Musée d'Orsay's first exhibition devoted to the spectacular development of the illustrated poster in colour in the late nineteenth century.

Including a unique set of works by the masters of poster art, the display shows how this medium was elevated "to the rank of mural painting", as the Nancy art critic Roger Marx once put it. This dive into the golden age of the illustrated poster also focuses on the rise of mass consumption and mass culture, of which poster art was both a vector and a symptom. Drawings, works of art, photographs and paintings all evoke the effervescent world of the street as a stage during the Belle Époque, whose image was in part shaped by these posters.

On show from 18 March to 6 July 2025, the exhibition "Art Is in the Street" is organised in collaboration with the Bibliothèque nationale de France. It is co-curated by Élise Dubreuil, Chief Curator of Decorative Arts at Musée d'Orsay, and Sandrine Maillet, in charge of poster collections at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, as well as Anne-Marie Sauvage, general library curator, and Clémence Raynaud, Chief Curator of Architecture at Musée d'Orsay.
