Formerly the site of both the French National Museum of Modern Art and the Parisian Museum of Modern Art, the Palais de Tkoyo is no longer called the Palais de New York (baptized as such during World War II).
The bulk of its national collections were transferred in 1977 to the Centre Georges Pompidou and what is left are private donations. Thus, the Palais de Tokyo is really an “outlet” for the National Museum of Modern Art.
40 boulevard Haussmann 75009 PARIS, metro : Chaussée d’Antin In 1893 Théophile Bader and his cousin Alphonse Kahn opened a fashion store in a small haberdasher’s shop at the corner of rue La Fayette and the Chaussée d’Antin. In 1896, the company purchased the entire building at n°1 rue La Fayette and in 1905 the buildings at n°38, 40 et 42, boulevard Haussmann and n°15 rue de la Chaussée d’Antin. Spectacular glass-domed store, luxurious, often pricey but also stocks more economical, own-label goods. Two floors devoted to fashion. Every top designer has an outlet here selling latest designs. Comparisons are easier and hours of window-shopping saved.
