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

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
