Art and Culture: Rooted in History, Thriving in the Present
"Art Capital of the World"Art and culture are the essence of history - a rich and long history that provides the basis for a vibrant cultural scene. However, history is not the only determining factor. To be truly worthy of the title, a city must not only rely on its storied past, but also embrace the vibrancy of the present.
According to official figures from the French Tourism Development Agency for 2023, Paris is home to more than 200 museums and more than 1,000 art galleries - a scale that is hard to match in any other city. But the French capital's cultural prowess goes far beyond that. Its streets are lined with countless historical monuments, theatres, cultural centres and prestigious festivals, most of which are supported by the government rather than being purely commercial operations.
UNESCO, the cultural agency of the United Nations, is also headquartered in Paris, further consolidating its position as a global centre of creativity and innovation.
