Announcing Panoramart: 10 Amazing Murals at the Top of Paris

Panoramart: A Dazzling Paris Art Exhibition at the Top of Paris Montparnasse

If you’re looking for the best view of Paris and a uniquely immersive art experience, look no further than Panoramart, the latest exhibition at the Paris Montparnasse Observatory. From now until October 31, 2025, the 56th floor of this iconic skyscraper is home to a vibrant, playful takeover by French illustrator Aurélien Jeanney—and it’s quickly becoming one of the top things to do in Paris this year.

Paris Montparnasse Meets Contemporary Art

Rising 210 meters above the city, Paris Montparnasse already offers an unmatched 360° view of Paris—Eiffel Tower included. But now, visitors are treated to more than just the skyline. Panoramart brings the observatory to life with massive, site-specific installations that blend illusion, geometry, and bold color.

Artist Aurélien Jeanney has created 10 large-scale frescoes using trompe-l’œil and anamorphic techniques that cleverly play with perspective and space. His work reimagines Paris as a surreal playground of geometric shapes and saturated hues, turning the observatory floor and panoramic terrace into a gallery in the clouds.

Meet Aurélien Jeanney

Born in 1989 and based in France, Aurélien Jeanney is known for his graphic, pop-art-infused visual language. With a background in illustration and street art, Jeanney’s work often transforms ordinary spaces into unexpected experiences. For Panoramart, he takes inspiration from the architecture of Paris and the urban landscape, blending reality with abstraction in a way that’s fresh, Instagrammable, and deeply Parisian.

Why Panoramart Is One of the Top Things to Do in Paris This Year

Whether you’re an art lover, a first-time visitor, or someone who’s already seen the Mona Lisa, Panoramart offers something different. It’s a combination of two of the city’s greatest strengths: panoramic beauty and creative energy. Here’s why it deserves a spot on your itinerary:

  • Unbeatable Views: Montparnasse Tower still holds the title for the best view of Paris, especially at sunset.
  • Immersive Experience: The art isn’t just on the walls—it’s part of the floor, the ceiling, and the skyline.
  • Perfect for Photos: Jeanney’s bold visuals create a dreamlike backdrop for your Paris photo album.
  • Limited-Time Only: The exhibition runs until October 31, 2025, just before the tower closes for major renovations.
