This is an interesting museum of contemporary art. The entry to the exhibition was 12. The space is huge so make sure to take enough time to see it all. There is a very fancy restaurant as well. If you like contemporary art, this is a good museum to visit.

Opened in 1937, the Palais de Tokyo has suffered from decades of neglect and subsequent deterioration. Housing modern art in its early stages of life, it soon was relegated to the sidelines upon completion of the Centre Pompidou in late 70’s, which took over the role of hosting modern art exhibitions. Sitting dormant and unused for latter part of the 20th century, it has since been reinvigorated by architects Lacaton & Vassal, opening back up to the public in 2002. The stripped down structure that exposes and embraces raw materials has recently received a new expansion by the architects who breathed new life into it. More details after the break. The gallery has grown from 7000 to 22,000 square meters. Lacaton & Vassal chose to stay true to their original restoration where everything was kept raw – honesty of materiality. Thus, when they broke through into an unused basement, the remnants of the process involved with breaking through have been celebrated and left exposed, rather than plastered over. Free from the typical clean-room type atmospheres of other museums, the building elements are allowed to age unencumbered which adds to the patina of a structure that has stood for nearly a century. Though the bottom basement layers exert an almost expansive tomb-like aura, the upper levels bask in the warmth of sunlight through glass roofs.

Extraordinary place to enjoy modern/contemporary art. The expositions are well designed, placed and guided. Interaction, accessibility and diversity are well played here. The store and cafe are really nice places to a time before and after visiting. Good place to go with kids!

A neat spot for contemporary art in Paris. Far from the usual crowds, it was a place for discovering new voices and seeing new ideas. One downside: no air conditioning, which was kind of tough on a sweltering summer day.

Truly interesting modern museum! When I say interesting I mean it’s well organized and thought out, mostly. There are some galleries that lead off into nowhere but for the most part the artwork is curated. It has a fresh vibe that comes with a modern artwork; meaning some of the work is comfortable and other work might push you away. That’s what modern art should do! Trust in that process. Merci!
