Located within the Palais de Chaillot — originally designed for the 1878 World Fair and partially rebuilt for the 1937 International Exposition — the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine houses national collections offering an exceptional panorama of architectural history from the Middle Ages to present day.

The redesign of the museum’s permanent galleries, which span nearly 5,500 m2, aims to reimagine the visitor journey while renewing the museography through new interpretive and mediation tools. Reopening is scheduled for the second half of 2027, marking the institution’s 20th anniversary.
