Skip the lines and head straight to the Petit Palais’s permanent and temporary collections. Entry to the museum’s permanent collection is free, so you can wander through the array of French and Italian Renaissance art, plus stunning 19th-century French paintings and sculptures.
The Worth: Inventing Haute Couture exhibition at the Petit Palais (May 7–September 7, 2025) celebrates Charles Frederick Worth, the visionary English designer who transformed 19th-century fashion by founding the first haute couture house in Paris. Showcasing exquisite gowns, sketches, accessories, and portraits, the exhibition traces Worth’s groundbreaking innovations — from seasonal collections and the use of live models to designer labels — that elevated dressmaking into a celebrated art form and established Paris as the world’s fashion capital. It’s a captivating journey through the glamour, creativity, and influence that shaped the origins of modern haute couture.
