TEMPORARY EXHIBITION

Monnaie de Paris offers a programme that provides a unique glimpse of contemporary artistic production about the themes that are dear to it. The Monnaie de Paris has wanted to show its support for equality in art and investigate the concept of gender since 2017.

The exhibitions are held in the eleven historic rooms of the piano nobile of the Palace, with a total surface of 1000 m2 to which add during some exhibitions 300 m2 accesible from the Meridian court and some artworks in the inner courtyard of the 11 Conti - Monnaie de Paris.

GRAYSON PERRY - VANITY, IDENTITY, SEXUALITY

19th October 2018 - 3th February 2019

The Monnaie de Paris is organising the first major solo exhibition in France by the celebrated British artist Grayson Perry (born 1960, lives in London). Perry’s works in traditional materials such as ceramics, bronze, cast iron, printmaking and tapestry, offer an ironic and darkly humorous look at universal topics such as identity, gender, class, religion and sexuality.
 
The exhibition will occupy the two floors of the Monnaie de Paris and be divided into ten themed chapters that reveal the artist’s interests.

GUY SAVOY'S RESTAURANT

Discover a gourmet restaurant run by a top Michelin-starred chef at Monnaie de Paris
 
Guy Savoy has moved his three-star Parisian restaurant to Monnaie de Paris, where he has taken over the first-floor rooms of the west wing overlooking the Seine.
 
Internationally renowned French chef Guy Savoy created his eponymous three Michelin-starred restaurant in 1980, and has managed it since then. He also owns a Restaurant Guy Savoy in Las Vegas, the twin to the original one, and five other establishments in Paris - Le Chiberta, Les Bouquinistes, Atelier Maître Albert, L’Huîtrade and Etoile-sur-Mer - as well as a shop, Goût de Brioche.
 
In 2015, he joined Monnaie de Paris as a partner to relocate his restaurant to 11 Quai de Conti, where the magnificent suite of rooms on the first floor was re-envisaged and redesigned for the purpose by the chef's friend and architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Subdued tones were chosen for the interlinking spaces; a harmony of warm, slate greys to realise the architect's concept based on shadow with depth. All the light filters through the high, wide windows that open on to the Louvre, the Pont Neuf, the Seine, and the Institut de France, emphasising the tables, the defining feature of the decorative scheme.
A ceiling painted by Fabrice Hyber and works from the François Pinault collection echo the contemporary art exhibitions curated by Monnaie de Paris.
 
The restaurant allows the chef to welcome about sixty guests, reservation required:

THE 11 CONTI MUSEUM

After nine centuries of roaming the capital, in the 18th century, Monnaie de Paris settled in a bespoke building, the royal manufacture of coins and medals, at 11 Quai de Conti. After minting coins for the state for 1150 years, Monnaie de Paris possesses invaluable tangible and intangible heritage: a collection of 170,000 objects, artisan skills that have inherited centuries-old traditions, and a site made up of 17th and 18th century buildings.

The 11 Conti Museum showcases this exceptional heritage. Metal is presented in all its forms and from all angles of approach: raw or transformed; from natural history collections or the result of scientific research; works of art and the peak of technical progress; vectors of economic exchanges; archaeological discoveries; as a witness to changing trends; in the writing of our symbols; and as a mirror of civilisations. Art, science and technology, history of peoples, tastes and economy, archaeology and sociology, the 11 Conti Museum brings together all these disciplines to express all the richness and diversity of the collections and know-how of Monnaie de Paris.
