On the museum and monument side, the Palais Galliera, a showcase for thehistory of fashion in Paris, also joins in this great cultural celebration: it's one of the places not to be missed during the Journées du Patrimoine. The museum was originally the brainchild of the Duchess of Galliera, to house her art collection. Following her death in 1888, the architect Paul-René-Léon Ginain continued the work, which was already well advanced, until the monument was completed in early 1894.
Finally, in 1895, the site was inaugurated as a Museum of Industrial Art, and was definitively dedicated to fashion in 1977, by the Mairie de Paris. Today, the Palais Galliera is a legendary Parisian landmark, recognizable by its "Beaux-Arts" aesthetic and its privileged square offering a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower. The rooms and galleries still house the collections of the great couturiers who have embroidered thehistory of fashion over the years.
The Palais Galliera presents the first exhibition in Paris dedicated to Rick Owens, offering an overview of the work of this avant-garde fashion designer, from his early days in Los Angeles to his most recent collections. Fascinated by the sacred, Rick Owens reveals the multiple references in his creations, from Joris-Karl Huysmans to modern and contemporary art, via the great Hollywood films of the early 20th century. Artistic director of the exhibition, he has teamed up with the Palais Galliera to create an itinerary that extends to the museum's façade and garden.
From February 8 to October 12, 2025, the Palais Galliera unveils the third and final part of its collection exhibition Fashion in Motion. Featuring over 180 new works, the exhibition retraces the history of fashion from the 18th century to the present day, using the museum's collections to explore the link between the body, fashion and movement. For this new exhibition, the focus is on winter sports.
Located in one of Paris's most emblematic fashion districts, La Galerie Dior and the Palais Galliera, Paris' fashion museum, are teaming up to offer an exceptional walking tour of their historic and precious fashion heritage.
Guided by a lecturer, participants will discover two complementary approaches to the preservation and transmission of Parisian fashion heritage, two histories of collections and exceptional places, two singular ways of exhibiting fashion.
Saturday September 20 and Sunday September 21, 2025 at 10am and 10:30am
Duration: 1 hour
The guided tour in LSF allows visitors to discover the collections exhibition, dedicated to the history of fashion from the 18th century to the present day, through the notion of the body in motion. The silhouettes, both elegant and sporty, evoke strolling, bathing, riding, cycling and even the automobile. A section featuring pieces rarely exhibited to the public provides a closer look at the evolution of winter sports fashions from the late 19th century to the present day.
