Eiffel
The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
Locally nicknamed “La dame de fer” (French for “Iron Lady”), it was constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the centerpiece of the 1889 World’s Fair. Although initially criticised by some of France’s leading artists and intellectuals for its design, it has since become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.[3] The Eiffel Tower is the most visited monument with an entrance fee in the world: 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015. It was designated a monument historique in 1964, and was named part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site (“Paris, Banks of the Seine”) in 1991.

The Petit Palais
The Petit Palais is inaugurated on 11 December 1902 as the “Palais des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris”. It presents the collections of paintings and sculptures acquired by the City of Paris since 1870 either as commissions or bought directly from artists or at Salons. This ensemble of French art is from the late 19th and early 20th centuries

The Centre Pompidou
The Centre Pompidou
The foremost collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe
Built up patiently over the years, today the collection of modern and contemporary art brings together more than 120,000 works. It is the richest collection in Europe and the second in the world. Joseph Beuys, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brancusi, Marc Chagall, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Otto Dix, Jean Dubuffet, Marcel Duchamp, Frida Kahlo, Wassily Kandinsky, Yves Klein, Fernand Léger, Henri Matisse, Annette Messager, Joan Miro, Piet Mondrian, Jean Prouvé, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Xavier Veilhan, and so many more! On levels 4 and 5, the works in the collection provide a unique immersive experience that unfolds the thread of the formal and aesthetic research at the root of modern and contemporary art, with the exhibition entirely renewed every two years and regular rotations of the works on display. These rotations enable the rooms to be renewed without altering the historical references. Through rooms and passages, corridors and aisles, a tour of the museum reveals the diversity of the collection and the range of creativity in all practices: photography, moving images, painting, sculpture, design, architecture, experimental film and video. Enriched in the course of time with new acquisitions and notably supported by generous donations, the collections never cease to grow, opening up to new scenes. This is the goal of the forward-looking work conducted by curators since 2000 in order to keep abreast of the globalisation of art and the growing number of contemporary scenes, reaching out to former East European countries, the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America and, more recently, South Asia and China, as well as Western Africa and South Africa. An unparalleled collection, exceptional monographs and spectacular exhibitions have made the Centre Pompidou an essential destination in the art world, with more than three million visits every year.
I passionately want Paris to have a cultural centre […] where the plastic arts go hand in hand with music, film, books, audiovisual research, etc.

Musée de Cluny
Musée Moyen Age
From Gallo-Roman antiquity to the dawn of the Renaissance, the Musée de Cluny offers a journey through 1500 years of history. The new tour highlights the evolution of this long period, allowing visitors to move forward in time as they move from one room to another.
The choice of a chronological tour is reinforced by the presence of a frieze at the beginning of the tour.
