Oscar Wilde: Insolence Incarnate

Oscar Wilde: Insolence Incarnate, on view at the Petit Palais until January 15, 2017, is France’s first tribute to the flamboyant Irish playwright since his death in a rundown hotel in Paris. This wistful show includes a selection of more than 200 exhibits – among them, manuscripts, first editions, correspondence, paintings, drawings, photographs and personal effects – borrowed from various museums and private collections across the world.
