Grand Palais
About
The Grand Palais in Paris is a historic Beaux‑Arts exhibition hall and museum complex nestled in the 8th arrondissement, between the Champs‑Élysées and the Seine. Originally opened for the 1900 Universal Exposition, its sweeping iron‑and‑steel barrel‑vaulted roof and dramatic glass dome make it an iconic Parisian landmark. Over the past century it has hosted world‑class art exhibitions, fashion shows, and cultural events. Today it continues to feature large‑scale exhibitions, concerts, and public programming, welcoming visitors with an impressive blend of architecture and contemporary art. For certain visitors – including job seekers, recipients of social benefits, refugees, disabled visitors, and groups from social‑field organisations – admission to selected exhibitions is free. All visitors are encouraged to reserve online and may purchase tickets at the on‑site box office once the exhibition program is confirmed.
