The Getty announced on September 22, 2026, that it would carry its collection into the streets of Paris this autumn, installing six large-scale outdoor reproductions of masterpieces at prominent locations across the French capital. On view from October 1 through November 30, 2026, the open-air display is organized in partnership with the cultural association L'Art dans la Ville. The selected works span the Getty's European painting holdings, with oversized reproductions of paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Édouard Manet, Paul Cézanne, Gustave Caillebotte, and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Presented outside museum walls at high-visibility sites around the city, the installations are intended to bring landmark works to Parisians and visitors in the course of daily life, turning Paris itself into an exhibition space for two months. The project coincides with the 250th anniversary of Franco-American friendship, giving the initiative a diplomatic as well as cultural dimension. Six large-format presentations of French and Dutch masterworks by a Los Angeles institution underscore the depth of artistic exchange between the two countries, which the anniversary year is celebrating across cultural programming. By placing its collection in public space rather than on gallery walls, the Getty is inviting a broad international audience to encounter its paintings up close, free of charge and outside opening hours — a gesture aimed at meeting viewers where they already are, in one of the world's most walked cities. The Paris project was announced in the same week as the museum's acquisition of a rediscovered Velázquez portrait, making for a busy stretch on the Getty's fall news calendar, with both items listed among its current press releases.
