Bruno Mars The Romantic Tour In Paris 2026 marks a highly anticipated chapter in the artist’s illustrious career, bringing his fifth headlining concert tour to the iconic Stade de France on June 20 and 21, 2026. This tour, supporting his fourth studio album *The Romantic*—set for release earlier that year—represents Mars’ first major live performances since his 2025 Park MGM residency and his first full-scale tour since the Bruno Mars Live tour spanning 2022 to 2024. Kicking off in Las Vegas on April 10 and concluding in Vancouver on October 14, the tour features a stellar lineup of opening acts, including Anderson .Paak (as DJ Pee .Wee), Leon Thomas, Victoria Monét, and Raye, adding layers of excitement to the already captivating experience. The announcement of *The Romantic* album and its lead single, “I Just Might,“ in early January 2026, set the stage for this all-stadium tour across North America and Europe, with Paris standing out as a key stop. As the city of lights prepares to welcome one of pop’s most dynamic performers, Bruno Mars The Romantic Tour In Paris 2026 promises an unforgettable blend of soulful melodies and electrifying performances, perfectly suited to the grandeur of the Stade de France.

The exhibition “Matisse: 1941–1954” showcases over 300 works—including paintings, drawings, paper cutouts, illustrated books, textiles, and stained glass—presenting Henri Matisse’s artistic career from 1941 to 1954. These works come from the Centre Pompidou’s collection and important international loans. The exhibition not only reveals the interdisciplinary nature of Matisse’s creative practice during this period but also brings together a series of outstanding paper cutout works.

The Orangery Museum of Fine Arts is collaborating with the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia to present an exhibition dedicated to the painter Henri Rousseau. The joint exhibition will open in Philadelphia in October 2025 and will run at the Orangery Museum from March 25 to July 20, 2026. The Orangery Museum will be the first to loan works from the Barnes Foundation collection, bringing together for the first time a significant group of Rousseau works formerly owned by art dealer Paul Guillaume.

The 36th Paris Summer Festival, once again directed by Marie Lenoir and Thomas Quiraldé, continues its distinctive style: a bold and inclusive summer extravaganza celebrating the performing arts. This year, the festival places even greater emphasis on presenting works outside traditional venues, with performances taking place in approximately 15 unexpected locations throughout Paris and the greater Paris region. By occupying urban spaces, monuments, and streets, the festival reaffirms live performance as a way to reshape the city. Its program is rooted in a spirit of generosity, collaboration, and collective joy.

This exhibition, for the first time, places Carrington's multiple identities within a single narrative: from her classical enlightenment in Florence and her fascination with the Renaissance, to the mystical nourishment of her Celtic roots, and her early explorations within the Parisian Surrealist movement. The exhibition brings together paintings, drawings, documents, and rare original works, peeling back layers of her imagined landscape of mythology, metamorphosis, feminism, and the natural world through a chronological and thematic framework.

This exhibition brings together six major works by the artist over fifty years: *Ballad of Sexual Dependence* (1981–2022), her masterpiece; *The Other Side* (1992–2021), a tribute to her transgender friends photographed between 1972 and 2010; *Sisters, Saints, Prophets* (2004–2022), witnessing family trauma and the taboo of suicide; *Amnesia* (2019–2021), a suffocating journey of withdrawal; *Siren* (2019–2020), a journey of immersion in drug euphoria; and *Stendhal Syndrome* (2024), a work based on six myths from Ovid's *Metamorphoses*, exploring the state of collapse described by Stendhal caused by the overwhelming beauty of art.
