Founded in Paris in 1991 by Dr. Sandra Hindman, Les Enluminures has been a leading dealer in medieval and Renaissance art for more than three decades. The gallery currently maintains locations in Paris and Chicago: its Paris gallery is in the historic Palais-Royal, and its Chicago gallery is on North Michigan Avenue.

Specializing in manuscripts and miniatures from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Les Enluminures also handles rings and jewelry from the same periods. The gallery organizes four or five exhibitions each year, some in collaboration with other dealers and contemporary artists, some traveling to other locations, often accompanied by scholarly catalogues. Clients of the gallery include the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, as well as many other institutional and private clients worldwide.

About Les Enluminures
From the Middle Ages to Michigan Avenue

September 14–20, 2026

Les Enluminures is delighted to return to the fourth Chicago Exhibition Weekend with From the Middle Ages to Michigan Avenue, a special week-long exhibition in our Magnificent Mile gallery. Bringing together a curated selection of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, miniatures, and jewelry, the exhibition offers visitors an accessible introduction to this remarkable field.

The Middle Ages are closer than you think. Take a walk down Michigan Avenue and explore up close how these treasures were made, used, loved, and collected—and why they continue to speak so powerfully to collectors today.
