offsite exhibitions

Artworks by contemporary artists irrigate the Île-de-France region, bringing its rich medieval heritage into direct contact with a wide public.

The exhibition brings together works from the Frac Île-de-France collection and from artists whose fantastic worlds are a direct legacy of the medieval taste for hybrid and marvellous figures that populate our imaginations, tinged with heroic fantasy, a frequent gateway to an often fantasised Middle Ages.

Presentation of Salomé, by Nancy Wilson Pajic (Frac Île-de-France collection), echoing the Luciforme exhibition by Mercedes Cosano. The work accompanies a body of material and photographic evidence, which tends to confirm the presence of fairies at Orsay, medievalist creatures par excellence.
