I'm visiting Paris for work next month (Feb 6 - 13) and would appreciate any suggestions for places to go for an art fix while there. I'll go to the Centre Pompidou of course, and I plan to go to Helene Bailly for the last days of their winter group show ft. Katrin Fridriks. www.helenebailly.com/exhibitions/group-show-exposition-dhiver/Any other recommendations much appreciated! |

This looks worthwhile for sure. Lots of great artists. www.hallesaintpierre.org/If I make it to Europe as planned in May I'm thinking of adding a few days to the trip so I can swing by and see this. |

Not art but if you go nowhere else in Paris you must go to Deyrolle, the most incredible and fascinating entomology shop in the World: www.facebook.com/Deyrolle |

We really liked Gaite Lyrique - not sure what will be on view while you're there, but the set up is great and it has a concert venue on the third floor so check their music schedule too. www.gaite-lyrique.net/There's a small Dali Museum, mostly sculpture in the Montmartre area (which we loved-there's a cemetery in that district which was beautiful). www.daliparis.com/english/ |

my favorite museum on earth: museum de orsay Ah, you like queues?  I always liked the Museé D'Orsay too, but last March I spent the whole month in Paris, living right by it, and didn't ever see it without at least a 2 hour line outside, even an hour before opening on a Sunday morning. Crazy. |

I'm not too familiar with Paris - I do remember the boat ride on the Seine was nice as well as Notre Dame. In terms of art, maybe I missed it but surely you will want to visit the Louvre right? www.louvre.fr/en |

But yes, the museums are pretty good too |
