The Touring Exhibitions Organisation (Teo), a one-stop resource platform for the international touring exhibitions community, is presenting the 2026 Touring Exhibitions Pavilion in Paris from 13 to 15 January 2026, in partnership with Museum Connections, the international fair for the museum and culture sector.
The annual event gathers creators, specialists and hosts of touring exhibitions from across the world to explore the industry's latest trends and productions.
The first two days will be hosted at Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, Hall 5.2, with the third day dedicated to exhibition visits around the city.
Opportunities for venues & producers
At the Touring Exhibitions Pavilion, museums, cultural, heritage, attraction, and tourism organisations can meet with international exhibition producers in a large lounge area surrounded by specialist booths.
Here, they can explore a broad range of touring exhibitions spanning art, science, history, world cultures, popular culture, design, and natural history.
International producers and specialists will both showcase their exhibitions and offerings and participate in the conference and its events.
The Teo team will be on hand to discuss exhibition opportunities, which include interactive entertainment, immersive experiences, IP experiences, original collections, and outdoor displays, and to arrange meetings at the Pavilion between producers and hosts.
Two conference sessions hosted by Teo will spotlight the latest trends and experiences in the travelling exhibitions space. These sessions will enable cultural organisations and attractions to discover a wide range of exhibitions and experiences available on tour and learn about the latest offerings and practices in the global market.
In 2026, the Museum Connections conference programme will also include a talk dedicated to practices and trends in international touring exhibitions.
This new session will examine how touring exhibitions can enhance the economic, reputational, and mission impact of cultural organisations.
Attendees will be invited to networking and social events organised throughout the Pavilion's three-day run. They will also have the opportunity to explore exhibitions in Paris, with one day dedicated to exhibition visits organised by Teo in collaboration with local partners.
The full programme will be announced by Teo soon. For more information and to register as a visitor or a producer, please visit the Teo website.
Producer booths have now sold out.
Teo Live 2025, the organisation's free, annual online event for the global touring exhibitions community, took place on 15 May. The keynote was presented by Anaïs Aguerre, founder and managing director of Culture Connect, a consultancy specialising in empowering the collaborative and international potential of the cultural sector.
