Exceptional spaces in the heart of Paris

When La Cité de l'Architecture opens its doors to you...

Occupying a surface area of 23,000 m² in the Paris Wing of Palais de Chaillot, La Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine was inaugurated in 2007 as a reference institution in architecture, urbanism and landscaping. La Cité works to foster public interest in these fields and delves into them with the help of specialists and professionals.

Home to exhibitions, education and reflection, La Cité de l’Architecture is a thriving cultural institution, whose mission is to preserve an exceptional heritage (the museum’s collections cover 1,000 years of French architecture history) but also to look to the future and attest to changes in architecture and urban landscape.
