Urban art at the Petit Palais: discover the free exhibition We are here

The Petit Palais in Paris is hosting the second edition of its free urban art exhibition, "We are (still) here," from June 20 to September 20, 2026. Organized in collaboration with the Itinerrance Gallery, the show features nearly 200 works by leading French and international street artists, including Seth and Inti, displayed in the Concorde Hall and throughout the museum's permanent collections, creating a dialogue between contemporary street art and classical masterpieces.

The exhibition matters because it continues to elevate street art within a prestigious fine arts institution, making it accessible to the public free of charge. By juxtaposing urban art with traditional objets d'art, the show highlights the cultural and social relevance of street art, which often addresses themes like inequality, civil rights, and identity. This edition reinforces the growing acceptance of street art in mainstream museums and offers a vibrant, inclusive cultural experience during the summer.
