History

Discover how this historic landmark evolved over centuries

The Petit Palais was built for the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle, designed by architect Charles Girault as a showcase of Belle Époque grandeur. In 1902, it officially became the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, housing Paris’s municipal fine arts collection. Today, the museum presents masterpieces spanning from Antiquity to the 20th century, including works by Rembrandt, Courbet, Monet, Cézanne, and Rodin. Its architecture, mosaics, and grand staircase are as much a masterpiece as the art it houses.
