About
The Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris is a modern art museum on the Avenue du Président Wilson, in the city's 16th arrondissement. Its address is 11 Avenue du Président Wilson, 75116 Paris, in the Île-de-France region of France. It is a museum of contemporary and modern art, and its collection and exhibitions give visitors a sense of the art made in the decades closest to our own.
What to expect
The museum is built around its exhibitions of contemporary artworks, which change over time. Visitors come to see how modern artists have approached painting, sculpture and other forms, and to follow the ideas that run through the works on display. Because the programme shifts, each visit can offer something different from the last.
- Contemporary artworks and temporary exhibitions
- A visit suited to a few hours of looking at art
- A quieter setting in the middle of the French capital
Getting there and around
The museum sits in the 16th arrondissement, one of Paris's more residential districts on the western side of the city. From here, it is easy to pair a visit with a walk through the neighbouring streets or with a stop elsewhere in the city. Checking the museum's current opening times and exhibition details before setting out is a sensible step, since these can change.
A visit here works well for anyone interested in modern and contemporary art who wants to spend an afternoon in Paris looking closely at work from the present era.
