“La RATP invite”: Martin Parr. Global Warning

From January 21 to mid-May, discover selected works from the exhibition “Martin Parr. Global Warning,” on display at the Jeu de Paume from January 30 to May 24, 2026.

With humor, Martin Parr has spent fifty years examining the shortcomings of our contemporary world: overconsumption, mass tourism, the omnipresence of the automobile, the place reserved for living beings, and dependence on technology. His photographs often make us smile, but they also challenge and question us. The exhibition at the Jeu de Paume offers a reinterpretation of Martin Parr's work since the late 1970s, in light of the social and ecological issues facing our planet.

See these works in 17 train stations and metro stations:
 

  • METROmetro ligne 1Hôtel de Ville, Bastille, Champs Elysées - Clemenceau, and George V stations (set up in February due to work on the support structure)

“Le Monde Vivant de la Monde” at the Valois Gallery

The Valois Gallery, located at the Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre metro station, is hosting an exhibition of works by French fashion historian Olivier Saillard through May 2026.
Titled “The Living World of Fashion,” this exhibition offers a critical and poetic exploration of how fashion is displayed in museums, imagining everyday garments that regain movement and a voice.

This event is being held as part of a partnership between RATP and the Fondation Cartier.

JR - "La Caverne du Pont-Neuf"

La Caverne du Pont-Neuf est une œuvre monumentale et éphémère imaginée par l'artiste JR, à l'initiative du fonds de dotation l'Amicale des Ponts de Paris. Elle est accessible gratuitement du 6 au 28 juin 2026.

A cette occasion, la RATP vous plonge dans le making-of de cette création qui transforme le Pont-Neuf en une structure gonflable spectaculaire évoquant une grotte minérale, de 120 mètres de long et 18 mètres de haut. Hommage à The Pont Neuf Wrapped de Christo et Jeanne-Claude (1985), cette œuvre porte la vision que l'art se vit partout et laisse une empreinte durable pour celles et ceux qui le rencontrent.
