Paris Study visit

Welcome — let me introduce you to the Palais de Tokyo.
Located at 13 avenue du Président-Wilson, the Palais de Tokyo is a leading institution for modern and contemporary art. The building’s western wing is owned by the French state and, since 2002, has housed the Palais de Tokyo / Site de création contemporaine—France’s largest museum devoted to temporary contemporary-art exhibitions. From 2001 to 2017 the Palais also hosted the Pavillon, an experimental residency and production program. The Pavillon served as a studio and laboratory for invited resident artists and curators, promoting youthful creativity and experimentation. Over its sixteen-year run it welcomed more than 130 international artists, offering a dynamic space for new ideas and artistic development. Whether you’re here for a major temporary exhibition or to discover emerging practices developed in residency programs like the Pavillon, the Palais de Tokyo remains a vibrant hub for contemporary creation and experimentation.

Welcome — let me introduce you to the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris.
Located at 11, Avenue du Président Wilson in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, this major municipal museum is devoted to modern and contemporary art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Its permanent collection holds roughly 15,000 works that trace key movements of the last century, and the galleries include monumental murals by Raoul Dufy, Gaston Suisse, and Henri Matisse. The museum places equal emphasis on historical and current practices: you’ll find exhibitions that illuminate European and international developments of the 20th century alongside monographic and thematic shows that explore contemporary trends. The program is dynamic—temporary exhibitions rotate roughly every six weeks—so there’s always something new to see. Whether you’re interested in major modern masters or fresh, experimental voices, the Musée d'Art Moderne offers a broad, well-curated picture of modern and contemporary art.


Welcome — let me introduce you to the Musée de Montmartre.
Nestled in the historic hilltop neighborhood that inspired generations of artists, the Musée de Montmartre was founded in 1960 and officially classified as a Musée de France in 2003. The museum occupies buildings that once housed many of Montmartre’s most celebrated painters and writers, giving the site an authentic, lived connection to the neighborhood’s creative past. The museum’s collections belong to the association Le Vieux Montmartre, founded in 1886. They include paintings, photographs, posters and manuscripts that chronicle the neighborhood’s lively history: the bohemian life, the cabarets, and the artistic effervescence of the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the famous figures associated with these walls are Pierre‑Auguste Renoir — who painted La Balançoire and Le Bal du Moulin de la Galette here in 1876 — as well as poets and artists like Pierre Reverdy and Suzanne Valadon. Visiting the Musée de Montmartre offers more than artworks; it’s a walk through the neighborhood’s storied atmosphere, where the traces of bohemia and creativity are preserved and celebrated.
