Odette, which has held three Michelin stars and is located within the Gallery itself, is led by Chef-Owner Julien Royer. Known for blending Asian flavours with classic French cooking, Chef Royer has created a menu that celebrates the cultural exchange between Asia and France — much like the exhibition does through art.

The City of Others exhibition showcases the works and lives of Asian artists who lived and worked in Paris between the 1920s and 1940s.

With more than 200 artworks and 200 archival materials, the exhibition offers a unique perspective on how these artists interacted with local and migrant communities in the French capital.

It aims to shift the focus away from traditional Western art history by highlighting Asian contributions to the Parisian art scene during a vibrant and transformative time.
