Originally conceived as part of the1931 Colonial Exhibition, it was a symbol-laden "Musée des colonies", decorated in Art Deco style. Renamed in turn "musée des colonies et de la France extérieure", "musée de la France d'outre-mer", "musée des Arts africains et océaniens" or "musée national des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie", the Palais de la Porte Dorée as we know it today was finally inaugurated in 2007.
