"After Tour Paris 13 and Boulevard Paris 13, Paris has now become the ultimate destination for the street art movement. This year, we take a significant step forward in the history of the movement, marking its institutional recognition: an exhibition at the Petit Palais. Just like the Salon des Refusés held in 1863 at the Palais de l'Industrie, the precursor to the Petit Palais, this exhibition will, for the first time in a national museum, showcase the very best of street art from around the world." — Mehdi Ben Cheikh  

Running from June to November 2024 and free to the public, this landmark exhibition presents installations by 13 prominent invited artists: Shepard Fairey, also known as Obey, Invader, Swoon, Cleon Peterson, D*FACE, Hush, Vhils, INTI, ADD FUEL, Conor Harrington, and Seth.  

A unique itinerary created especially for the occasion concludes with a room entirely dedicated to the event, featuring 161 works by 60 major artists displayed salon-style, densely packed as they were in the 19th century.
