Explore the Petit Palais,
built for the 1900 World Expo

This is an admission ticket to the Petit Palais in Paris. You can see the collections and visit one temporary exhibition. The Petit Palais stands right across from the Grand Palais and was built for the 1900 Paris World Expo, when it mainly displayed French artworks. Today it is a museum showing works mainly from the Middle Ages and Renaissance to the 19th century.

Admire interiors decorated with frescoes and dome paintings

The building is decorated with numerous frescoes and dome paintings. The paintings on the entrance dome, the scenes of French history on the ceiling to the left of the hall and the paintings on the right ceiling are especially worth a look.

Discover collections from ancient art
to 19th-century painting

The collection is divided into three parts: art from ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt on the left, 18th-century furniture and decorative arts on the right, and late 19th-century oil paintings, Impressionist works and some sculptures in the middle. A downloadable audio guide is also available.

Visit the central garden and the Churchill statue

The Petit Palais is built around a central garden. In the dining area at the heart of the museum, you can take a break with garden views in an early 20th-century artistic atmosphere. At the south corner of the building, you can also see the statue of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
