Description

The Petit Palais is an art museum in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France.nBuilt for the 1900 Exposition Universelle (“universal exhibition”), it now houses the City of Paris Museum of Fine Arts. The museum is split into two levels with two series of rooms running parallel and juxtaposed The interior of the Petit Palais was designed to create exhibition spaces “suited to every aspect of a collection: the outer galleries for objects, the inner, skylit ones for paintings, the lower galleries for reserves and the entrance rotunda and main gallery for sculptures”. The entrance rotunda and main gallery was especially grand. The floors were tiled with mosaics, the walls were lined with marble, and the dome and vaults were filled with allegorical paintings.
