Experiments and innovation
Created in January 2002 on the initiative of the Ministry for the culture and the communication, the Palais de Tokyo is a place of experimentation and innovation for modern art. Thought like a forum open to all, it offers a new manner of living art closest to its time, and answer the expectations of the public and the artists.
First institution open from midday to midnight, it proposes at the same time exposures and events with the multiple formats: Performances, conferences, projections, etc. The Palais de Tokyo also created a reception to measure with the service of all the publics, thanks to a team of mediators specialists in the new contemporary practices. Three thousand square meters of spaces for exhibition, a restaurant, a cafeteria, a bookshop and a shop make a true place of life of it.
Installed in a historical building built at the time of the International exhibition of arts and techniques of 1937 to present the collections of the national Museum of modern art and adapted by the architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, the Palais de Tokyo has exceptional spaces of exhibition which place it at the row of the great international institutions dedicated to current art.
Programming
Programming at the Palais de Tokyo attests creative expansion of the contemporary world, disciplines crossed by current creation and of the many emergent expressions which draw its future of it. 'Transdisciplinaire', reagent, international, experimental and diversified, the program of the Palais de Tokyo testifies to its permanent engagement at the sides of the artists, to produce with them significant new works.
