“Oriental Gardens and Palaces” December 14, 2024 - April 6, 2025

Gardens and Palais d'Orient will be in the spotlight from December 14, 2024 with a very promising exhibition designed in partnership with the Louvre Museum and its Department of Islamic Arts.

With more than 200 works from the collections of the Louvre but also from the PACA region, this exhibition will invite you to take a poetic stroll through the mythical gardens of Antiquity, the palace gardens of medieval Spain and especially the imperial gardens of the world. Persians, Ottomans, and Mughals to the modern period. Contemporary creation will also have its place there with two strong artistic gestures at the heart of the course, which will address the environmental and geopolitical issues linked to this very rich theme.
