Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris

The Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris is housed in the eastern wing of the Palais de Tokyo, a vast, marble-clad building characterized by its smooth lines and wide, pillared portico. Constructed for the nineteen thirty-seven International Exhibition of Arts and Technology, the palace was originally designed to present modern art collections. Today, the museum holds over fifteen thousand works, focusing on major artistic movements from the twentieth century to the present day.
