About Palais de Tokyo
The Palais de Tokyo in Paris's 16th arrondissement is a neoclassical building on the Right Bank of the Seine, which opened in 1937 for the World's Fair. Originally conceived as a museum of modern art, it now houses a center for contemporary art. After a comprehensive renovation by architect Anne Lacaton, the building offers generous exhibition space geared toward young visitors. Here you can see current trends in painting, sculpture, photography, video, design, fashion, literature, and dance. Hours that run until midnight underscore the modern character of the venue, which lets you experience art in all its facets.
