The Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, located on the banks of the Seine, displays a variety of contemporary art.

The special exhibitions are also excellent, featuring mainly topical contemporary artists.

It is easily accessible from the center of the city, the Palais de Tokyo is on the premises, and the Trocadero and Eiffel Tower are within walking distance, so it would be fun to take a stroll around the area on a nice day.

There is a large door entrance on rue du Président Wilson, but you actually enter from the other side, toward the Seine.

There are big letters that say ENTRÉE, so you can easily find your way there.

Admission

The Musée de la Ville de Paris is run by the city, so admission is free.

Please note, however, that only the permanent collection can be viewed for free, and special exhibitions require a separate admission fee.

The entrance fee for special exhibitions varies from time to time, but is set between 5 and 12 euros.

The permanent collection also changes depending on the time of year.

In April 2019, when I visited this time, there was an exhibit titled Rumours & Legends.

This exhibit ran from 3/15/2019 to 7/14/2019.

Summary

How was it?

It is a very attractive museum for those who are interested in contemporary art.

The contents of the exhibits change depending on the season, so you can enjoy them as many times as you like.

The surrounding area is also very nice, so I recommend stopping by during your walk.

On a sunny day, you may want to take a walk along the Seine River and walk towards the Trocadero and Eiffel Tower.

Please stop by when you visit Paris.
