Does anyone know of a publication on could read online that lists all current special museum exhibitions in Paris? I%26#39;ve checked the Pariscope Web site and they only list movies. And can%26#39;t seem to find a listing on Le Monde%26#39;s, though perhaps I can buy the Sunday paper and find it there. If it%26#39;s in French only that%26#39;s OK. Thanks -- just seems it would be more efficient than getting on every major museum%26#39;s Web site. I%26#39;ll be in Paris in early May.

evene.fr is the best site I know of for listings of cultural events in France. It is in French so I hope that is not a problem. I did a quickie search for Fine Arts events in Paris between May 1 and May 15 for you. Here are the results:
www.evene.fr/culture/arts/arts.php…
I woul not suggest that this list is exhaustive but at least it is a start...

If you are in Paris, the week%26#39;s issue of PARISCOPE is will be your best and most comprehensive resource. The on-line edition used to contain a LOT more information...but a couple of years ago the magazine severely cut-back its free, on-line content.
I don%26#39;t think that I%26#39;ve ever come across a genuinely complete or comprehensive on-line list or resource for this information...some that were %26#39;..prettty good..%26#39; but not great. Perhaps not surprisingly, the regular Paris Tourist office web site is pretty good...and perhaps so obvious that%26#39;s it%26#39;s often overlooked-- http://www.parisinfo.com/ --but it is up-dated each maonth so you%26#39;ve got to keep checking it...and then spend some time %26#39;..poking around..%26#39; within it. If you do you will usually be rewarded with an odd assortment of interesting little details.
For art in Paris, another pretty good resources is ART LOVERS PARIS-- http://www.stargonaut.com/ ---that%26#39;s also pretty good...but still lacking in information some of the %26#39;..less-usual-suspects..%26#39;.

KDK -
I think if you check it out that you will find that evene.fr is much more comprehensive than the other sites you mention and also has a lot of listings for exhibitions and events that you will not find in the printed Pariscope. It is actually TOO comprehensive if that is possible. Sometimes it is hard to filter its listings down to something manageable.

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions -- and to Irish Rovr for looking up the info. I will check out the sites. Indeed, Pariscope is the best once you%26#39;re in Paris, but I was hoping to do just a little planning. I keep thinking there must be something similar to our papers in the US (e.g., if I%26#39;m going to NYC, I pick up the Sunday Times a couple of weeks ahead of time to figure out museum exhibits, theater, etc.).
