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.
