DESCRIPTION:Oct 29\, 2026 - Feb 14\, 2027\nFor nearly a century\, a circus 
 stood at the foot of Montmartre. Opened in 1873 as the Cirque Fernando and
  later renamed the Cirque Medrano\, it was a favorite haunt of the artists
  who lived nearby\, particularly those gathered around the Bateau-Lavoir. 
 Seurat\, Toulouse-Lautrec\, Degas\, Picasso\, Léger\, Chagall\, and Rouau
 lt all found inspiration under its big top\, drawn to the spectacle of acr
 obats\, clowns\, and horses\, the play of electric light on sequined costu
 mes\, and the thrill of bodies in motion. For some\, the clown and the acr
 obat became symbols of the modern artist\, living by their talent and at t
 he mercy of an audience. The Musée de Montmartre explores the circus’s 
 influence on modern art through paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, poster
 s\, and costumes\, and includes Picasso’s bronze Le Fou (1905) and Chaga
 ll’s sketch for The Grand Circus.
LOCATION:Museé de Montmartre\, 12 Rue Cortot\, 75018 Paris\, France
