With all the museum in Paris, it pays to do some research, because they are often closed to decorate, many people are closed on Tuesday, for example. Due to popular exhibition attracted a large cohort, trying to book tickets online far ahead.
A short walk away is the Palais Galliera, or fashion museum. Housed in a classical museum behind beautiful wrought-iron gates, it shows temporary exhibitions from its vast collection. At the time of my visit, it was closed for summer renovations but it was holding an Yves Saint Laurent retrospective off-site at the Petit Palais, for which, as usual, there was an enormous queue. Opposite the Palais Galliera are the Palais de Tokyo and Musee d'Art Moderne.
The Palais de Tokyo is the antithesis of classical Paris, with its industrial glass and concrete design housing cutting-edge contemporary exhibitions. The accompanying museum collection is in no way comparable to the Pompidou Centre but is worth a look for its small and succinct display that includes works by
Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, whose famous La Danse murals featuring human bodies in motion take up an entire room.The Baccarat museum on Place des Etats-Unis, a short walk from Place d'Iena, has a tantalising collection of its renowned crystal.
