The Grand Palais in Paris has set up an art treasure hunt in partnership with Perrotin Gallery.

The project, titled Wanted!, will tuck away 20 artworks from artists represented by Perrotin, including Takashi Murakami, Emily Mae Smith, and JR, within the historic building.

The hunt follows the concept of “finders, keepers.” You get to bring home whatever you discover during the event.

“The rules are simple. 20 artworks by Perrotin artists will be concealed in the empty nave of the Grand Palais. If you find one, you leave with it,” the gallery wrote about the event on Instagram.



The treasure hunt will be carried out over 48 hours from 24 October 2020 to 25 October 2020. Participation is free of charge, but advance registration is required.
