Palais de Tokyo

Palais de Tokyo, opened in its current form in 2002 in a wing of the 1937 Paris International Exposition building on the Right Bank of the Seine, is one of the largest centers for contemporary art in Europe. A radical 2012 renovation by Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal stripped the interiors back to their concrete shell, creating 22,000 square meters of raw, flexible exhibition space. With no permanent collection, the institution dedicates itself entirely to the art of its time, commissioning ambitious site-specific projects, large-scale solo shows, and long-running multi-artist seasons.

The Palais de Tokyo is a building dedicated to modern and contemporary art, located at 13 avenue du Président-Wilson, facing the Trocadéro, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The eastern wing of the building belongs to the City of Paris, and hosts the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris. The western wing belongs to the French state and since 2002, has hosted the Palais de Tokyo / Site de création contemporaine, the largest museum in France dedicated to temporary exhibitions of contemporary art.
