Current exhibits worth taking in.

Everyone knows about the Hockney, but there are several other interesting exhibits in Paris right now.
Artemesia Gentileschi whose 'Judith and Holofernes' (Uffizi) is well known has a wonderful exhibit at the Jacquemart Andre. I had only seen a couple of her paintings; this exhibit must have 20 or so. they also exhibit work by her father and by her contemporaries like Carravaggio. Excellent and the Jacquemart Andre is also a lovely old mansion and has a good tearoom for lunch.

The Picasso has a current exhibit on 'Degenerate Art' banned by the Nazis. It is amusing to see what they considered 'degenerate' -- basically it is any art created by Jewish artists and modern art.

the community museum in Nogent sur Marne has an exhibit of Willy Ronis photos; he was a fabulous photographer of paris scenes after WWII. You will probably recognize some of the photos as he created many of the classic what it is to be French photos.

If you are interested in fashion both the Making Couture at the Petite Palais and Golden Thread at Quai Branley are very mush worth considering.
