Billie Eilish, Madonna and Cardi B are framed in soda cans set like zellige tiles, against traditional rugs, inside what Time Out describes as an oversized Moroccan salon. Rachid Taha nicknamed Hajjaj "Andy Wahloo", and you see why before you reach the second wall.
You walk in through "Roots: From Larache to London", his move from Morocco to the UK, then into "Gnawa Connection", where portraits of gnawa musicians hang beside the instruments they play. Nearly 40 portraits in all, with an electronic score by the Paris group Acid Arab playing through the rooms, and more of his work slipped in among the museum's permanent instruments. It's the only room in Paris where a Coke can counts as tilework.
Time Out gave it five stars and found real ideas under the colour, its one catch being that the hang verges on saturation. Tickets are €12 (€10 and €6 reduced), include the permanent collection, and must be booked ahead.

The soda-can frames
Look at the borders: drink cans stand in for zellige tiles and tin cans for plaster moulding around the portraits.
Gnawa Connection
Portraits of gnawa musicians, including master Babohot, shown beside gnawa instruments and the story of the music.
Billie Eilish
Her portrait from the My Rock Stars series, shot in Hajjaj's patterned studio style, is the show's poster image.
Acid Arab's score
An electronic soundtrack mixing traditional Arab sounds with heavy bass runs through the rooms as you walk.
Hajjaj in the permanent collection
His objects and works are placed among the museum's own instruments, so keep looking after the temporary rooms end.

You like a sparse hang: Time Out warns the dense display borders on saturation.
