Paris is currently hosting a landmark cultural exhibition titled “Marilyn Monroe: 100 Years”, held at the Cinémathèque française, honoring one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons on the occasion of her centenary.
The exhibition officially opened on April 8, 2026, and will run until July 26, 2026, offering visitors a rare and immersive journey into the life and legacy of Marilyn Monroe.
Far beyond her global image as a cinematic and cultural symbol, the exhibition seeks to reframe Monroe as a serious film actress, exploring her artistic evolution through a rich collection of archival photographs, original film materials, posters, costumes, and personal documents drawn from her Hollywood career.
By revisiting her work and public image through a cinematic lens, the exhibition highlights Monroe’s lasting influence on film history, popular culture, and the global imagination, positioning her not only as a mythic figure, but as a complex artist whose impact continues to resonate decades after her passing.
Held in the heart of Paris, the event stands as one of the city’s most significant cultural highlights of the season, reaffirming Monroe’s place among the most influential figures in cinema history.
