Standing on the parvis du Trocadéro, opposite the Eiffel Tower, the Cité de l’Architecture & du Patrimoine is situated within the Palais de Chaillot, along with the Théâtre National de la Danse, the Musée de la Marine and the Musée de l’Homme.

The Cité’s 22,000 square metres, devoted entirely to architecture and urban planning, are divided into a variety of spaces. Three prestigious galleries house the permanent collections: the Casts gallery, the gallery of Murals and Stained Glass, and the Modern and Contemporary Architecture gallery. On display are, among other treasures, 7,000 architectural casts, 350 reproductions of wall paintings and more than 300 ancient and modern models. With its many different spaces, masterpieces and insights into the history of architecture, this museum is full of surprises.
