East meets West (India in Paris)

Paris-Delhi-Bombay Pompidou Centre

Paris-Delhi-Bombay at the Pompidou Centre

India is on everybody’s radar these days, whether it’s collaborating with the ever-more-powerful technology and entertainment industries, or simply enjoying its wonderful cuisine (which,  of course, you can find all over Paris). This summer two museums in Paris are highlighting the intimate relationship Europe has with India: at the Pompidou Centre the exhibition Paris-Dehli-Bombay showcases the work of contemporary Indian and French artists (until September 19th); while at Musée national des Arts asiatiques – Guimet, Une cour royale en Inde: Lucknow transports us back in time to the royal city of Lucknow, where a mixed society of Europeans and Indians flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries (until July 11th). Also, interspersed throughout the museum’s main exhibition halls are works of art by Indian-born American artist Rina Banerjee (until September 26th).
