Local before arrival
Near the Eiffel Tower, the Palais de Chaillot, built in 1937 in the neoclassical style, houses an architecture museum that interprets architectural history from the Romanesque era to the present. Life-size castings and copies of sculptures and murals allow visitors to compare masterpieces from different eras. Using models, maps, and photos, the gallery of modern architecture documents city planning and the challenges of modern urban development from 1850 to today.
