I’ve been hungry to see Le Gastronomie dans l'art exhibit at Artcurial and my mind finally feasted on the clever and smartly curated show of food as art.
The show is in yet another gorgeous 19th century neo classical mansion (you are all probably getting bored already with my gorgeous mansion descriptions), the Hotel Dassault on the Champs Elysees.
Cleverly divided into 6 categories, les repas, les entrees, la cuisine, le marche, les fruits and les desserts, the work ranges from the 15th century Dutch masters to 1960’s pop art artists.

Artcurial is an auction house that features different shows throughout the year. There’s an excellent bookstore stocked with hard to find art books and café on the premises.
Warning: Don’t see the exhibit on an empty stomach!
