Palais de Tokyo

Palais de Tokyo seeks to celebrate living artists across multiple disciplines, including painting, graffiti, sculpture, and performance art. Rather than housing a permanent collection, the Palais de Tokyo opts for a rotating schedule of exhibitions that focus on emerging artists and cutting-edge art. The museum’s stripped back concrete structure gives it a raw finish unlike the typical Paris museum layout. With 22,000 sq m of expansive exhibition space, the Palais de Tokyo can host site-specific installations, such as an obstructive and alluring sculpture by Burundi-born artist Serge Alain Nitegeka to explore the connections between architecture and politics. Palais de Tokyo’s cafe and gift shop merit a visit in between exhibitions.
