Galerie L'Angélus

Bachar and Hiam Farhat opened the Galerie L'Angélus in 2011 with an unusual ambition: to place original 19th-century works — oils, watercolours, drawings, prints — back into the building where many of them were conceived. One of their three exhibition spaces is inside the Musée Millet itself, at no. 27, where the gallery presents Barbizon School paintings alongside works by Corot, Manet, Fantin-Latour, and Charles Jacque. The main gallery at no. 34, directly across the street from Millet's studio, handles the contemporary programme — prints, sculpture, and rotating solo shows — with a lower-ground floor dedicated to etching and engraving. A third space at 36bis rounds out the group. The Farhats also organised two major salon exhibitions at the Espace Culturel Marc Jacquet: Impressions 2016 and Impressions 2017. Their daughter Jana runs Nunchi at 36bis, making the family the most quietly consequential presence on the Grande Rue.
