The 2016 Paris Biennale opens next week (10-18 September). This year there are 125 participating galleries (showing Fine and Decorative Art along with jewellery), a 36% increase from 2014 as the Biennale has joined forces with Paris Tableau, the international fair specializing in European Old Masters. The Biennale will become a yearly event starting from 2017.

Scenography this year is by set designer Natalie Crinière, and we’re particularly looking forward to the special exhibition ‘Tribute to the Mobilier National: Tradition et Audace’. Enjoy these few preview images!
