Zoo Art Show - 4 000 m² de street art sous la Grande Arche

The Maison de La Défense is transformed into a temporary museum: repainted open spaces, stairwells, ceilings and walls become canvases. Born in Lyon in 2018 and led by the independent collective founded by Antoine Roblot, the Zoo Art Show reprises its original concept on an exceptional scale for its first Paris edition.

The route reads like a descent through forty years of graffiti and mural art history. From the fifth floor, dominated by squat atmospheres and raw tagging, down to the ground floor, the raw scenography supports both old-school lettering and monumental murals, light installations, digital artworks, and audiovisual setups.

An immersive lounge at the entrance sets the tone: the exhibition emphasizes experience and density over polished staging. The collective scale is central: over 500 artists from 28 countries, among whom 360 worked in situ, take over every surface in the building, offering a broad panorama of the movement, from lettered graffiti to contemporary abstraction.

This diversity of hands and styles makes the visit a succession of visual encounters, surprises, and powerful moments. Practical info: the exhibition takes place from January 9 to June 28, 2026 at the Maison de La Défense (4 Place de la Défense, 92800 Puteaux).

The route is accessible only by online reservation; the visit lasts about 1h30. Public price announced: from €14.90.

Transport access: La Défense, Grande Arche station (metro line 1 and RER A). For those who love the raw energy of graffiti as much as contemporary forms of muralism, the Zoo Art Show offers an immersive and generous interlude in the heart of La Défense district, a rare opportunity to (re)discover large-scale street art in a transformed urban setting.

From open office to temporary museum: the radical transformation of the Maison de La Défense The "Zoo Art Show" was born in Lyon in 2018, founded by Antoine Roblot, a self-taught producer immersed in graffiti culture since his teens. One hundred percent independent, without subsidies or sponsors, the collective designs temporary exhibitions in abandoned buildings.

After several spectacular editions in the capital of Gaul, the team takes a decisive step by moving to 4 Place de La Défense, in Puteaux. 4,800 m² of offices completely transformed in eight weeks. In eight weeks, a team of nine people carried out a radical transformation of the Maison de La Défense. The office floors were completely repainted.

Lighting was redesigned floor by floor to enhance each artwork. Audiovisual installations punctuate the five levels, and an immersive lounge welcomes visitors right at the entrance.
