Palais de Tokyo

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

Ospitato nell'ala ovest di un monumentale edificio Art Déco del 1937 che si affaccia sulla Senna, il Palais de Tokyo è il principale polo francese per la creazione contemporanea e uno degli spazi di questo tipo più vasti d'Europa. Non possiede una collezione permanente: dedica invece le sue enormi sale in cemento, volutamente lasciate allo stato grezzo, a un programma di mostre temporanee, installazioni e performance ambiziose in continua rotazione. Un intervento di ristrutturazione del 2012 firmato dagli architetti Lacaton e Vassal, vincitori del Premio Pritzker, ha aperto vasti livelli sotterranei, e la sede è nota per rimanere aperta fino a tarda notte.
