Chiharu Shiota at the Grand Palais

Until March 19, the Grand Palais opens its doors to the spellbinding, poetic universe of Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota. Her monumental installations, composed of interwoven threads, sculptures and performances, transform every space into an immersive experience where art dialogues with the imaginary.

The exhibition invites young and old alike to discover works that intrigue as much as they amaze. Red threads, recurrent in the artist's universe, mingle with objects such as keys and suitcases, symbols of memories and inner journeys. Each installation is an open door to profound reflections and intense emotions, perfect for sharing a special moment with the family.

To make this discovery accessible and fun, several tools are available to visitors. Younger visitors can take advantage of explanatory labels at their own level, while a game book transforms the visit into an interactive artistic adventure. The Grand Palais mobile application completes the experience with enriched content, including interviews and anecdotes about the artist's work. Finally, interactive tours specially designed for families allow them to explore the works in a participative and dynamic way, encouraging exchanges and curiosity among children and adults alike.

Prolong the magic of the holidays by letting yourself be captivated by this unique exhibition, where art becomes a thread of shared memories and emotions. A not-to-be-missed experience to end the year on a high note.
