The busy banks of the Seine, bustling marketplaces, grand boulevards, idyllic public gardens, and the heady atmosphere of bohemian Montmartre are brought to life in more than 170 works of art and artisan objects. From the renowned collection of the Musée Carnavalet - History of Paris, the iconic museum of the history of Paris, this exhibition reflects on an effervescent period of great social change, urban development and artistic innovation which shaped modern Paris and continues to capture the global imagination.
Tour seven themed pathways and discover artisan street signs, historic couture, decorative arts, and everyday ephemera alongside paintings by artists including Jean Béraud, the pre-eminent painter of Parisian life in the Belle Époque, Maurice Utrillo and Paul Signac, pioneer of the artistic technique of pointillism, as well as vibrant graphic prints by Toulouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries.
The oldest municipal museum in Paris, the Musée Carnavalet was founded in 1866 to document the history, built environments, and unique character of Paris during a period of rapid modernisation. Located in the historic Marais district, the museum is home to over 620,000 works of art and artefacts from the Mesolithic period to the present day.

The Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize is the highest value art prize for women in Australia and provides a unique platform to engage, connect, support and profile women artists across Australia and internationally. The Prize also showcases a commitment to celebrating emerging Indigenous women artists and promoting their creative talents on a national stage.
Launched in 2017, the Prize has grown exponentially and gained significant recognition. Remarkably, the Prize receives more than double the amount of entries than the renowned Archibald Prize, confirming the Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize’s vital role in elevating the status of women artists across the country.
Last year alone, three Ravenswood Art Prize finalists were also finalists in the 2023 Archibald Prize, the 2023 Wynne Prize, and the 2023 Sir John Sulman Prize. Additionally, two Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize’s women finalists have also won the Archibald Prize, in 2014 and 2018.
Supporting the arts inspires and strengthens communities socially, educationally, and economically - fostering creativity, empathy and beauty. Established by Ravenswood School for Girls to advance art and opportunity for women artists in Australia, the Prize is an annual acquisitive prize, with total prize money of $47,000.
