Petit Palais in Paris is currently hosting the ORIGINAL 1900 Belle Epoque exhibition when Paris was at its height of 'artistic boom'! The divine Belle Epoque-style Petit Palais was originally built to host the 'Universal Exhibition' in 1900. Here are 2 installation views. The exhibition is filled with known gems by Rodin, Monet, Toulouse -Lautrec and the awesome (if somewhat underrated) William Bougerough. There are also lesser known works on display which makes the exhibition even more fascinating! I kept on hearing the way actress Marion Cotillard pronounce the words "Belle Epoque" when describing her favorite period in the film 'Midnight in Paris' while walking through the exhibition space...
Oh that sounds like such an interesting exhibition! Love those Toulouse-Lautrec paintings!
