Beginning October 1, six large-scale reproductions of artworks from the Getty Museum’s collection will be installed at locations across Paris, bringing some of the world’s most celebrated works of art into the city’s public spaces through a partnership between Getty and L’Art dans la Ville. The installations will be on view through November 30, 2026.
The citywide installation brings highlights from Getty’s collection closer to international audiences and is one of several Getty partnerships in France this fall. Coinciding with the 250th anniversary of French and American friendship, the project creates opportunities for Getty’s collection to be seen by Parisians and tourists in dialogue with French museums, cultural institutions, architecture, and everyday urban life.
“This exciting project reflects Getty’s commitment to sharing art beyond museum walls and building meaningful partnerships around the world. In the spirit of Franco-American friendship, we’re delighted to bring artworks from Getty’s collection into conversation with the dynamic cultural life of Paris.” — Katherine E. Fleming, president and CEO of Getty
The six outdoor installations feature a range of artworks in Getty’s collection, including Vincent van Gogh’s “Irises” and Gustave Caillebotte’s “Young Man at His Window,” alongside paintings by Édouard Manet, Paul Cézanne, and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Each reproduction has been paired with a distinctive Paris location, creating new encounters with art beyond the walls of a museum.
The installations include:
• Auteuil: “Young Man at His Window” (1876) by Gustave Caillebotte
• Gare de l’Est: “Irises” (1889) by Vincent van Gogh
• Hôtel de Ville: “Portrait of Joseph Roulin” (1888) by Vincent van Gogh
• Louvre: “Jeanne” (1881) by Édouard Manet
• Notre-Dame: “Spring” (1894) by Lawrence Alma-Tadema
• Sèvres: “Still Life with Apples” (1893–1894) by Paul Cézanne

The installations arrive during a season of expanded Getty engagement in France. In addition to her partnership with L’Art dans la Ville, Katherine Fleming co-chairs the selection committee for 100 Femmes de Culture, a recognized public-interest organization dedicated to promoting the recognition, visibility, and appreciation of women leaders, creators, and artists across all cultural and creative sectors. The 100 honorees for 2026 will be announced on October 12 at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, with the Minister of Culture in attendance, among others.
Getty has also recently awarded grants to Bibliothèque Nationale de France and the Columbia University Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris as part of its Getty Global Art & Sustainability Fellows initiative.
In addition to Getty’s Paris activations, they have also partnered with Skira to offer an exclusive selection of Getty-branded gifts for purchase at the boutique’s Paris location.
