For its new exhibition, focusing on 18th-century decorations, the Galerie des Gobelins gave free rein to the artists couple Pierre and Gilles. For the occasion, they have designed an installation that recreates a decorative environment that was directly inspired by the Marie-Antoinette movie, directed by American film-maker Sofia Coppola. At the center of the installation is a portrait of Zahia Dehar, especially made for the event.

Exhibition: "Carte Blanche to Pierre et Gilles", from April 8th to September 27th 2014.
Open every day from 11am to 6pm. Closed on Monday.
Full rate: €6 / Concession: €4.
