People staying in cheap hotels in Paris over the coming months will be able to visit an exhibition celebrating one of Belgium's most acclaimed modern artists.
The James Ensor exhibition was launched at the Musee d'Orsay in October and will remain open until February 4th 2010.
One of the aims of the show is to explore the related themes of continuity and fracture that run through Ensor's work.
The artist was an important influence on the expressionist and surrealist movements that emerged in the first half of the 20th century.
His paintings also featured recurring images such as skulls and masks, as well as innovative uses of colour and light.

Also open at the museum is a display exploring the Art Nouveau movement and the various revivals that it had during the 20th century.
