The Musée National Picasso-Paris has launched a major exhibition dedicated to American artist Henry Taylor, running from April 8 to September 6, 2026. The showcase features approximately 100 works, including portraits, sculptures, and installations that explore African American social realities, collective memory, and urban struggles. Developed in collaboration with the artist, the exhibition spans 13 galleries and places Taylor’s expressive, human-centric practice in direct dialogue with the legacy of Pablo Picasso.

Outsourcing Museum Reception: A Booming Model

Externaliser l’accueil dans les musées, un modèle en plein essor

French museums are increasingly outsourcing front-of-house services, including ticketing, reception, and crowd management, to specialized private firms. This trend, which gained momentum with the opening of the Musée du quai Branly in 2006, allows public institutions to focus internal resources on core missions like conservation and curation while utilizing flexible, external labor for high-traffic operations. The market for these cultural services in France is projected to reach approximately €50 million by 2025.
