From Ancient Egypt to Gainsbourg and Picasso: The Paris exhibits to see in 2023

The sarcophagus of Pharaoh Ramses II is displayed at the Grand Palais during an exhibition dedicated to him in Paris on May 11, 1976.

Paris is gearing up for a new year of must-see exhibits, from a rare chance to view the sarcophagus of Pharaoh Ramesses II to a Harry Potter “experience” or a deep dive into rival Impressionists Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas.

The Pablo Picasso museum will mark 50 years since the artist’s death while the Centre Pompidou will explore the literary influences that inspired Serge Gainsbourg’s music. Many of the exhibits this year are immersive experiences, as venues look for new and creative ways to approach the classics.
