Paris' new architecture museum

Beside the Louvre Pyramid and the Centre Pompidou (to name a few of the few), this labyrinth of narrow streets doesn't leave much room for new architectural projects. You may find your fix however, at the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine, also known as the Cité Chaillot, a newly opened museum in Paris displaying a variety of exhibitions on contemporary architecture -- both French and foreign -- including different approaches to town planning. You can also go for a virtual tour to discover the museum's different galleries. Also, in efforts to encourage thought on the matter, the museum regularly organizes conferences and debates.
Upcoming: a debate in context of the Prix de l’Union Européenne pour l’architecture contemporaine Mies van der Rohe - Prix 2007

Wednesday, December 5th at 7:30pm
7 avenue Albert de Mun - Paris 16e (back entrance of the pavillon)
