The Louvre-Lens invites you to the doors of the Arabian Nights until July 20
📅 From March 25 to July 20, 2026 (current exhibition)

📍 Louvre-Lens, 99 rue Paul Bert, Lens (62300)

The Louvre-Lens is hosting an exceptional exhibition until July 20, 2026: “Beyond the Thousand and One Nights. Histories of Orientalisms.” Nearly 300 major works await you in this fascinating dive between East and West.

For the first time, masterpieces from the Louvre’s Department of Islamic Arts are leaving Paris to come to Lens. The exhibition traces, from the Middle Ages to today, how forms, imaginations and knowledge circulated and were transformed between the two shores of the Mediterranean.

A chronological and critical approach, enriched with French and Belgian collections, which invites us to question cultural representations and millennia-old exchanges. Stories, shows and workshops for young and old complete the program throughout the exhibition.

Find the entire program and reserve your tickets directly on the official Louvre-Lens website. The museum is open every day except Tuesday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

A great opportunity to combine an extraordinary cultural visit with a stroll in the city of Lens and its mining history. Share this outing with your loved ones!
