Description
The Palais de Tokyo in Paris is an iconic symbol of French Art Deco architecture. Located near the Eiffel Tower, it has been a hub for modern and contemporary art in the city for nearly eighty years. This book tells the story of its transformation, as the Palais underwent major reconstruction work before its grand reopening in 2019. The project involved collaboration between Paris-based h2o Architectes and design firm Studio GGSV, who directed significant changes to the eastern wing of the Palais. The resulting Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris is a unique blend of old and new, with plans and historic photographs on display in this book. Through essays, conversations, and photographic features, Modern Modern brings the reconstruction process to life, capturing the changes of the museum from multiple angles.
