Petit Palais , whose name means Small Palace, is a museum that was built as an exhibition hall for the Universal Exhibition of 1900 in Paris. Today the Petit Palais houses the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris (City of Paris Museum of Fine Arts).
The Petit Palais was designed by Charles Girault, who arranged it around a semi-circular courtyard and garden, the same way as the Grand Palais nearby.
The exhibits of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris is divided into two sections: the Dutuit Collection of medieval and Renaissance objets d'art, and the Tuck Collection of 18th century furniture and objets d'art.
How to reach the Petit Palais
Take the Métro to the Champs-Elysées-Clemenceau subway station.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
