The fashion museum of the city of Paris
Located a few steps away from the famous Avenue Montaigne and Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the Palais Galliera is the fashion museum of Paris. I was fascinated, as soon as I arrived, by the beauty of the building: a Renaissance style palace.

Indeed, the museum's collections include many pieces such as jewellery, women's and men's clothing or lingerie from famous fashion houses, designers, stylists but also pieces without brands...
Two or three times a year, you will be able to discover exclusive exhibitions from this marvellous collection. I invite you to visit their website which informs you about all those to come...
