Petit Palais, Paris Overview

The Petit Palais is a lavishly decorated building with diverse fine arts collections. It has a splendid courtyard and garden and looks similar to the Grand Palais, which is set just across the street. It is situated between Champs-Elysées and Les Invalides.

Remarkably, besides being a museum with magnificent collections dating from ancient times to the 20th century, the Petit Palais is also a striking venue that hosts exhibitions on impressive works of art. Various exhibitions are organized here chronologically, which feature sculptures, paintings, and decorative elements from the Medieval Age, the Renaissance period, and the 18th & 19th centuries. It was constructed in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle (Universal Exhibition). The well-decorated hallways and the grand porch of the Palace are indeed an awe-inspiring sight!
