Vibrant, bold, and pioneering, Palais de Tokyo is the dynamic place for the artists of our time. It is also the largest centre for contemporary artistic creation in all of Europe, as well as a one-of-a-kind exhibition space.
Dedicated to all forms of contemporary creation and showcasing both emerging and established artists from France and around the world, the Palais de Tokyo’s programming is punctuated by thematic and monographic exhibitions, large-scale artistic interventions, and carte blanche invitations to artists who take over the entirety of the space.
Palais de Tokyo proved itself to be a reference in the field of cultural mediation early on thanks to an innovative, diversified, and generous approach to connecting with the public
It furthermore was the first art centre in France to appoint a Head of Social and Environmental Responsibility in order to prepare for the challenges of the 21st century, particularly in terms of adapting to and fighting against climate change, as well as in terms of societal impact and the promotion of socially responsible models. Through its everyday operation, through its artistic programming, and through its economic model, which actively involves patrons to support its ecological and social transition, the Palais de Tokyo displays a clear commitment to sustainability.
Engaged and engaging, the Palais de Tokyo is a community-oriented institution that seeks to share its convictions with as broad an audience as possible, driven by a desire for openness and universal accessibility. Palais de Tokyo works with stakeholders in the social sector to offer concrete solutions to overcoming symbolic and geographical hurdles in order to ensure an equal access to culture for all.
