The Palace of Versailles will be presenting the first major exhibition devoted to an unjustly overlooked figure in French history: Louis, son of Louis XIV.

Exhibition at the Château de Maisons (Yvelines), in partnership with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux.

This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore the history and lives of the Native American nations of the Mississippi Valley in the eighteenth century, their connections with France, the extraordinary Atlantic crossing undertaken by their leaders, and their encounter with Louis XV, the Court, and the capital.

In October 2024, the Château de Versailles began the restoration of the Salon of Diana, a major room of the King’s Grand Apartment. The project focuses on the painted and sculpted decoration of its ceiling.

A major exhibition bringing together nearly 150 works - paintings, drawings, furniture, architectural projects and costumes- to reveal the originality and diversity of landscaped gardens designed in the second half of the eighteenth century.

As part of 100x Morellet, celebrating the centenary of the birth of François Morellet (1926–2016), organised at the initiative of the Centre Pompidou in collaboration with the Morellet estate, the Château de Versailles will present six major works by the artist.

In September 2026, the Château de Versailles will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Sofia Coppola’s film Marie Antoinette through an exhibition presented at the Petit Trianon, a place intimately linked to the queen and the setting for numerous scenes of the film.

The Château de Versailles will present an exhibition dedicated to Adriaen De Vries, a major figure in early seventeenth century European sculpture.

The Japanese interior architect and photographer Yasumichi Morita explored the Château de Versailles over several years, through the changing seasons, to compose a photographic reportage imbued with silence, materiality and light.
