Palais de Tokyo

ArtOpen until 10pmFrom €13Iena (Metro Line 9)

Instalado en el ala oeste de un monumental edificio Art Déco de 1937 frente al Sena, el Palais de Tokyo es el principal centro de creación contemporánea de Francia y uno de los espacios de este tipo más grandes de Europa. No cuenta con colección permanente: dedica sus vastas salas de hormigón, deliberadamente inacabadas, a una programación cambiante de ambiciosas exposiciones temporales, instalaciones y performances. Una remodelación de 2012 a cargo de los arquitectos Lacaton y Vassal, ganadores del Pritzker, abrió sus cavernosos niveles inferiores, y el espacio es conocido por permanecer abierto hasta bien entrada la noche.
