Reasons to go

Built for the 1937 World's Fair, the building has an industrial, unfinished-concrete aesthetic rather than a traditional museum interior.
It has no permanent collection, only rotating temporary exhibitions, so the program changes regularly.
Free late-night openings run on summer Thursdays, keeping the galleries and Le Yoyo bar/club space open until midnight.

Reviews

Fantastic gallery with interesting spaces and well curated exhibitions. It has an extensive bookshop and a great cafe / work area. Recently discovered Cathy de Monchaux's work here, I would encourage anyone to go and see it.
