Fine Arts ExhibitionPetit Bayonne
Bayonne's "Little Louvre" houses 7,000 works spanning five centuries, from Michelangelo sketches to Goya portraits, in a light-filled space reborn after fifteen years of renovation. The chrono-thematic route weaves through Old Masters, Spanish Golden Age treasures, and the world's second-largest cabinet of drawings.

A rare Toulouse-Lautrec from the Musée d'Orsay lands in Bayonne. This 1894 painting captures a sex worker adjusting her stocking with unflinching intimacy: tired, dignified, utterly unheroic. Part of a sweeping show about invisible labor, it asks who gets to be seen in art.

See centuries of art through a radically different lens. This guided tour reframes the Bonnat-Helleu collection around the representation of women: how they were depicted, idealized, and constrained by the male gaze, plus the troubling absence of women artists themselves.
