When it comes to going out, there are plenty of ideas to relax and learn.
The “Schiap” effect.
Museum of Decorative Arts, Paris
Tribute to a great lady of haute couture and her daring creations: “Shocking! The surreal worlds of Elsa Schiaparelli ”brings together, until 22 January, 272 silhouettes and accessories. An exhibition by the curator Marie-Sophie Carron de la Carrière that immerses us, thanks in particular to a superb scenography, in the avant-garde of the 20s and 30s, highlighting the astonishing richness of the ties that united it to Cocteau, Man Ray, Picasso, Picabia and their muses. The exhibition also showcases the legacy of “Schiap” among the great stylists of the century. Until January 22nd. madparis.fr

Sandwich break
Petibon, Paris
This is the new sin to test rue Montorgueil. The salty or sweet “finger sandwiches” by Petibon, a counter opened by three sisters. From breakfast to aperitif, through brunch and of course tea time, Julia, Léna and Chloé Grosman, inspired by their years in England, have an answer to all cravings. Simple principle: no more than four ingredients for mini-sandwiches, each consisting of a soft loaf, a shortcrust pastry or a financier. Inside we munch from the most basic (ham and butter) to the most gourmet and fragrant (peanuts, chocolate, pistachio, coconut, praline). petibon.fr

Champollion and the friend of Lyon
Museum of Fine Arts, Lyon
We never stop celebrating the bicentenary of the deciphering of hieroglyphs by Jean-François Champollion. This time it is the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon to highlight the scientific and friendly relationship that it has maintained for more than twenty years with François Artaud, the first director of the museum. The exhibition recalls how this friendship changed the latter’s life, giving rise to a true passion for the land of the pharaohs. 145 antiquities are presented (figurines, steles, papyri, painted coffins, etc.), the correspondence between the two men and unpublished archives of Champollion.

Picasso at child height
Picasso Museum, Paris
The two ongoing exhibitions dedicated to Maya Picasso and her ties to her illustrious father show evidence that Pablo Picasso was fascinated from childhood. More than a source of inspiration, a model to follow and a topic of study. Very nice the idea that this weekend the programming is dedicated to the little ones. The famous museum is thus transformed, without too much difficulty, into a playground … or almost. With creative workshops, a show, adapted visits and a portrait hunt. www.museepicassoparis.fr

The exhibition focuses on the period 1950-1965, years of intense activity for the photographer, with a selection that brings together the fashion icons he often “shot” but also his lesser-known work as a photojournalist.
