The Palais Galliera takes center stage for an exceptional nocturne: on Saturday, May 18, 2024, the fashion museum takes part in the 20th edition of Nuit des Musées and unveils a special program.

Nuit des Musées returns on Saturday, May 18, 2024, and for the occasion, many museums are staying open for a free nocturne! Fashion and art aficionados already know where to turn to enjoy this exceptional evening: the Palais Galliera is ready to welcome us, for this 20th edition of Nuit des Musées.

The program for Nuit des Musées 2024 at the Palais Galliera :

  • Spectacle musique et danse dans les jardins du Palais Galliera
    Samedi 18 mai, 18h30

    Spectacle de musique et danse des professeurs et élèves concertistes du Conservatoire Rachmaninoff : Récital de piano, piano à quatre mains, duos, trios avec violon et violoncelle, harpe, guitare classique...Danse contemporaine, moderne et de caractère.

It sounds like an exciting program, but the Palais Galliera is worth the detour, even without the artifice. Conceived by the Duchess of Galliera as a place to showcase her art collection to the general public, themansion was built in 1894. Unfortunately, due to a clerical error, the Duchesse de Galliera was unable to donate her collection to the city of Paris, preferring instead to donate it to the Palazzo Rosso in Genoa.

The Renaissance-inspired building was then converted into a museum of industrial art, failing to receive the Duchess de Galliera's collections. It wasn't until 1977 that the Paris City Council restored the building's original identity: the Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris was finally born.

Today, the City of Paris' collection comprises over 200,000 items, including clothing, accessories, photographs and graphic arts from the 18th century to the present day.

Intrigued by this program? There's only one thing left to do: visit the Palais Galliera on May 18!
