In 2026, the American artist Jenny Holzer proposes an unprecedented exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay. With over 750 distinct texts – drawn from 424 sources and signed by 73 authors – she transforms the heart of the museum into an intense space for reflection. The exhibition, titled “I Have Seen,” explores the relationship between words and ideas through monumental installations, light projections onto the historic facade, and the use of exotic stone engravings. Holzer mobilizes fragments of archival material from the museum’s collection to enhance her works. The exhibition is an invitation to contemplate the projected texts on the building, as well as the artistic installations exhibited there. The work aligns with the artist's approach, which places words and ideas at the heart of her deeply engaged practice. An immersive experience blending contemporary art and cultural heritage. Admission is free.
