WE ARE [still] HERE: Street art takes center stage at the Petit Palais

Paris is once again celebrating contemporary art with the exhibition WE ARE [still] HERE, on view at the Petit Palais from June 20 to September 20, 2026. Following the success of the first edition, this exhibition showcases the richness and diversity of street art by bringing together works by French and international urban artists.

Held in one of the capital’s most iconic museums, the exhibition offers a unique dialogue between the worlds of graffiti and urban art and the majestic architecture of the Petit Palais. Visitors will discover how these art forms, born in public spaces, continue to evolve and reinvent the codes of contemporary art.

Through an exhibition itinerary blending paintings, installations, and monumental works, WE ARE [still] HERE invites visitors to take a fresh look at street art, which has now become an essential artistic movement. This exhibition perfectly illustrates the creative energy of Paris, a city where historical heritage and contemporary expressions converge.

From the Hôtel du Jeu de Paume, make the most of your stay on Île Saint-Louis to explore the cultural events that bring the capital to life. After your visit to the Petit Palais, extend your Parisian experience by strolling along the Seine or exploring the neighboring historic districts.
