Napoleon III commissioned the construction of this building in 1861 to house the courts for "jeu de paume" also known as the grandparent of tennis. Now home to the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, a contemporary visual arts gallery, the Jeu de Paume previously hosted Impressionistic and Post-Impressionistic art. The Galerie shows primarily photography, but also features video, cinema and Internet-based works. They show both established figures as well as emerging artists. On the last Tuesday of the month, evening admission is free to those 26 and under. Families are made especially welcome on Sunday afternoons, to facilitate adults and children enjoying the exhibits together.

It is a beautiful gallery, once a tennis court building transformed into an art collection, and it is not so outstanding in the flow of Paris, and it is often overlooked by tourists.
I like photography especially older photography / images and the efforts people made to capture history.We visited when the Dorothea Lange exhibition was on display and I particularly liked the Great Depression photos while my wife thought the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII were the more interesting work.Like most galleries view the website and take a view on whether it''s for you or not.

Like Billebaude Philippe Halsmann. It's just around the corner from Wellsituted Concorde ET Rue Rivoli. Employees are friendly and no problem. Check tourists more at this moment... but it's not very annoying.
This gallery was built during Napoleon III and has a long history. It contains a large collection of cultural wealth that was plundered by Jews.
