Palais de Tokyo
Paris
Anchored in the present and looking to the future, the Palais de Tokyo is also rich in fascinating history, inviting visitors to take a journey through artistic creation.
Having become Europe’s largest contemporary art center in 2012 following the renovation of its entire space, the Palais de Tokyo invites visitors to explore the emergence and meet the creators of our time, in the very place where some of the greatest artists of the past century were exhibited.
Vibrant, bold, and pioneering Palais de Tokyo is the dynamic place for the artists of our time. It is also the largest center for contemporary artistic creation in all of Europe, as well as a one-of-a-kind exhibition space.
Driven by the desire to change our vision of art, the Palais de Tokyo invites us to bear witness to the audacities of our time and to live the experience of art in the making, in all its guises.
Dedicated to both emerging and established artists from France and around the world, the Palais de Tokyo’s programming is punctuated by thematic and monographic exhibitions, large-scale artistic interventions, and carte blanche invitations to artists who take over the entirety of the space.
True to its civic mission, Palais de Tokyo proves itself to be a reference in the area of cultural mediation early on thanks to an innovative, diversified, and generous approach to connecting with the public.
