Here are four art exhibitions in Paris which look at the poetry of Pablo Picasso, vintage (老式的) photography by Henri Cartier-Bresson, the history of technology and fashion design by Coco Chanel.
Musee National Picasso — Paris
On view at the Musee National Picasso — Paris, an exhibition called Picasso Poet looks at the poems that Pablo Picasso wrote in his lifetime. It's more than just framed pieces of paper but a look into his handwritten plays, typewritten artist books and hand-painted poems, alongside his drawings and paintings. "It reveals the extraordinary resourcefulness of the poet Picasso," writes the curator (馆长).

Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation
This quiet little museum features more than just photos by the French master photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. There's also a solo show featuring the photos of Chilean photographer Sergio Larrain currently on display. Featuring photos of London taken in the winter of 1958 to 1959, there are street scenes with fog and rain as well as the locals daily lives.

Metiers Art Museum
This is one of the most overlooked museums in Paris, and it's well worth a day trip. The collection of engineering machines and televisions, as well as cameras and typewriters will walk us through the history of technology over the past 200 years.

Palais Galliera
Palais Galleria in Paris is the city's best fashion museum, and it has been closed for the past two years undergoing a huge renovation (整修). Now, the museum has reopened with a retrospective (回顾展) honoring a French designer, Coco Chanel. The exhibition looks back at the career of one woman who broke the glass ceiling in fashion design and features over 350 dresses, accessories, jewels and scents. The exhibition continues in the newly-renovated basement galleries, which are not to miss.
