Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris Audio Guide Tour

Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris occupies the eastern wing of the Palais de Tokyo, built for the 1937 International Exposition in Paris. The museum opened in 1961 and presents the city’s collection of modern and contemporary art. Its galleries trace major developments in 20th-century painting and sculpture, including Fauvism, Cubism, and abstraction. A highlight is Henri Matisse’s monumental *La Danse*; works by Robert and Sonia Delaunay are also among the collection’s draws. The building’s broad, light-filled spaces give large works room to breathe, while changing exhibitions connect the permanent collection with later artists and ideas. Despite the shared building, the museum is separate from the neighboring Palais de Tokyo contemporary art center.
