Museums in France announce major exhibitions for Soutine and Chagall

The Musée d’art moderne de Céret has announced a significant partnership with the Musée de l’Orangerie to host an exhibition dedicated to painter Chaïm Soutine. From December 19, 2026, to August 30, 2027, the museum will present nineteen works from the Musée de l’Orangerie collection, which is considered the most important Soutine collection in Europe. The exhibition will explore Soutine's unique artistic journey and his reception since the 1920s, highlighting his time in Céret between 1919 and 1922.

In Nice, the Musée national Marc Chagall will host the ‘Chagall Couture’ exhibition from October 10, 2026, to May 23, 2027. This event features seventy-six textile creations developed in collaboration with students and professors from the Lycée Les Coteaux de Cannes. The exhibition is divided into two parts: the first focusing on the ‘Âmes mortes’ engravings and the ‘Message Biblique’ chromatic nuances, and the second interpreting ‘Fables de La Fontaine’ and major figures from the ‘Message Biblique’.
