Home to temporary exhibitions and big events (Chanel fashion show, Hermès horsejumping, art festivals...) this end of 19th-century wonder is worth for its intricate glass roof alone.
Don't forget to appreciate the architecture of the building even if you don't plan to walk into the Grand Palais - The glass and steel roof is the largest of it's kind in Europe!
It is an amazing world class museum. The Velázquez exhibition I watched today was as beautiful as the exterior of the building. Willing to visit again.
This large historic site was built over the demolished Palais de l’Industrie in 1897 as part of the preparation works for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, it has a police station in the basement
