## The Grand Palais, a major Parisian event venue

The Grand Palais is a monument symbolic of Paris. Built for the World Fair of 1900, it is a unique exhibition venue. The immense space of the Grand Palais’s nave can house exhibitions on a grand scale, while the national galleries, more classical in style, display the work of great artists in temporary exhibitions.

A unique venue, teamed with an outstanding programme, makes the Grand Palais one of the most popular exhibition venues in Paris.

What's new in 2025: wonder and creativity

In 2025, the Grand Palais will be innovating with two major new features:

  • The Grand Palais d'été: a special programme from June to August, combining open-air artistic performances, concerts under the stars and interactive experiences. The aim of this new event is to make the nave and its surroundings vibrate, offering visitors a unique cultural experience.
  • The Palais des enfants: a new 620 m² space located under the Rotunda of the Palais de la Découverte dedicated to families and children aged 2 to 10. Creative workshops, interactive exhibitions and fun activities are on the programme to introduce children to art and culture. The Transparence exhibition, from 6 June 2025, marks the opening of this space.
  • The Salon Seine: designed for families accompanied by children, this area is free and open to the public and is located in the heart of the Grand Palais. The interactive activities include a playful art discovery counter, a collaborative fresco, works created by artists and special event workshops. The first installation, by Marion Pinaffo and Raphaël Pluvinage, offers a mechanical and poetic experience, linked to the exhibition Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely and Pontus Hultén. An annual event, the Salon Seine offers a creative and playful exploration for youngsters and their families, with a shop and a restaurant.
