Another amazing museum dedicated to contemporary art is Palais do Tokyo. It is in an old derelict, or at least that is how they want it to look, palace close to the Chaillot. Right opposite in the other half of the building is the Museum of Modern Art. The Palais is rough and ready to accommodate the wild nature of the exhibits.
This another example of where the architecture has deliberately been conceived to allow the artist maximum freedom. It looks derelict from the outside and on the inside. Exposed ducting and ceilings, rough!
The gallery on the other hand has been restored to house a wonderful collection of 20th art and design.
Both have cafes which are clearly hangouts of the cool people, the Palais de Tokyo especially, which had two, one of which was totally full!
Must find out the history of the Palais.
