Pavillon de l'Arsenal

21 boulevard Morland - 75004 Paris Le Marais

In January 2025, the Pavillon de l'Arsenal will begin a major renovation of its historic building located at 21 Boulevard Morland. Entrusted to the DATA Architectes agency, this transformation aims to improve visitor reception and adapt the venue to current bioclimatic challenges. During this period, the Pavillon will continue its cultural mission outside its walls with a travelling programme in several venues in Greater Paris:

Espace Notre-Dame (Paris 4th arrondissement) with the exhibition ‘Sacred Places - Building, Celebrating, Coexisting’ from 27 February to 8 June 2025
Au Césure (Paris 5th arrondissement): conferences and round tables around the exhibition ‘Materia architectures’
Aux Magasins Généraux in Pantin (Seine-Saint-Denis) with the exhibition ‘The Ideal School’ scheduled for June 2025

City of Paris centre for information, documentation and urban and architectural exhibitions. The Pavillon de l'Arsenal enables you to understand the evolution of Paris, the influence of its history on urbanism. Across 3 floors: a permanent collection and large model, modern galleries, temporary exhibitions, a picture library and conferences. The Pavillon de l'Arsenal has launched the "Archivélo" routes: 4 bike routes to discover Greater Paris.
