TRAVAUX DE DAMES
From March 8^th to September 17^th
Musée des Arts Decoratifs

This exhibition focuses first on the artistic activities to which women were confined until the early 20th century, then highlights the initial signs of emancipation until women fully achieved the status of artists in their own right.
The aim of this exhibition and the issues it raises is to show both the role of women in design and to highlight the particularities of their individual careers.

BALENCIAGA, L’OEUVRE AU NOIR
From March 8^th to July 16^th
Musée Bourdelle

Extra Muros exhibition at the Musée Bourdelle. This exhibition at the musée Bourdelle opens the Palais Galliera’s Spanish season, which will continue with Habits aux couleurs de l’Espagne (‘Clothes in Spanish Tones’) at the Maison Victor Hugo (21 June - 24 September 2017) and will finish with Mariano Fortuny at the Palais Galliera (4 October 2017 - 7 January 2018).
The Palais Galliera is paying homage to the couturiers’ couturier, Cristóbal Balenciaga (1895-1972) outside its walls at the Musée Bourdelle. Balenciaga pieces are displayed alongside the plaster casts and the couturier’s work sets up a powerful, black-on-white dialogue with the great, late 19th-and early 20th-century sculptor.
The first part of the exhibition trail, ‘Silhouette & Volumes’, is followed by ‘Noirs & Lumières’ (‘Black & Light’), and then ‘Noirs et Couleurs’ (‘Blacks & Colours’).
