Travel Guide | Paris en Août / Paris in August: 3 Museum Exhibitions to See
Monday 31st July, 2017

This private museum presents great collections of art while maintaining atmosphere of a mansion. The owners, Edouard André, a 19th century collector, and his wife Nélie Jacquemart, a portrait artist, travelled across Europe and the East to acquire rare works of art and furniture.
This summer, there's a sumptuous selection of art owned by one of Spain’s wealthiest women, Alicia Koplowitz. The exhibition offers a glimpse into her very private world: "She turned to art as a kind of escape from being alone, and became extremely knowledgeable,” says Pablo Melendo, a former director of both Sotheby’s and Christie’s, who is curating the exhibition.
Goya, Canaletto, Guardi, van Gogh, Gauguin, Picasso, Gris, Gonzalez, Rothko, Freud, Giacometti, Bourgeois are just a few of the gems revealed in the exhibition.
*** Editor's Note: While this exhibit may have ended, the museum itself is so lovely that it is still worth a visit. If you're searching for an alternative exhibit, please scroll down to the bottom of this article. xR

Palais Galliera pays hommage to Dalida with the exhibition "Une garde-robe de la Ville a la Scène"
Palais Galliera by @elodie_d37
Yolanda Cristina Gigliotti (17 January 1933 – 3 May 1987), better known as Dalida, was an Egyptian-Italian French singer and actress. Dressed by the greatest designers both on and off-stage, in haute couture or in prêt-à-porter, everything about her was dazzlingly beautiful. The gilded frescoes of the grande galerie and la galerie Ouest display, in a unique Parisian elegance, the show-business side as well as the off-stage wardrobe of the star.
