What people say

"I'm a huge fan of contemporary art. I've been to hundreds of museums and art galleries around the world and Palais de Tokyo is definitely a favourite of mine. The installations were absolutely incredible and very powerful. Some of the exhibits genuinely moved me. Its very easy to spend a couple of hours here. They also have a great little gift shop. I will definitely return here in the future. The Cathy de Monchaux sculptures were incredible and I have never seen anything like them before"
