Description :


The city’s museum of modern art, also known as MaM, reopened in 2006 after renovation and is situated in the east wing of the Palais de Tokyo. Inaugurated in 1947, it is a monumental building in a sobre style, composed of two perfectly symmetrical wings separated by a fountain and stone staircases. The glass ceilings provide natural daylight for the majority of rooms. The permanent collections of the museum comprise more than 8,000 works illustrating the many different artistic currents of the 20th century, with works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti, Georges Braque, and Yves Klein, just to mention a few. The museum also shows major temporary exhibitions.

Municipal

Built for the International Exhibition in 1937, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la ville de Paris, officially opened in 1961, occupies the main part of the Palais de Tokyo. Permanent collections reflect most of the current 20th century French and European art, from Fauvism to Contemporary Creation and its most diverse disciplines (painting, sculpture, installations, photography, video), including Cubism, the Ecole de Paris, Abstraction-Creation, Lyrical Abstraction, New Realism, Support/Surface, Povera Art, Conceptual Art etc., and the famous Fée Electricité by Raoul Dufy. The “historical” section organizes temporary exhibitions dedicated to major movements or artists of the 20th century, soon to also include the 21st century. Similarly, the contemporary section offers precise information on national and international news concerning monographic or themed exhibitions, revealing new talent as well as pioneering research.
