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!
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.
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.
Hokusai exhibit allowed me to see Grand Palais for the first time. It is a gorgeous building. Worth a visit but exhibits here are crowded and that takes some of its charm away.
Check the online tickets and schedules before heading there. There is a place for keeping tour backpacks and coats during the time of your visit! Travel bags are not allowed in!
