Palais Galliera

Well, I consider this museum as a scam and/or tourist trap.

The museum's website mentions as follows:

'The Palais Galliera preserves some of the richest collections in the world. Estimated today at nearly 200,000 works (clothing, accessories, photographs, drawings...), these collections reflect the codes of clothing in France from the 18th century to the present day, and are regularly the subject of numerous exhibitions in Paris, France and foreign countries.

Starting in the summer of 2021, they will be presented through a permanent exhibition route never before seen in France, offering visitors a history of fashion through masterpieces or little-known pieces from the reserves of the Palais Galliera. '

The problem being that in this so-called fashion museum you will never see any items of clothing, as the permanent exhibition is (temporarily?) closed, which was not mentioned on the website.

When I was there in March 2024, the only exhibition was 'Paolo Roversi', which is probably nice for persons who are into photography. However, I didn't come there to contemplate photographs, so I was overall very disappointed.

The amount of public agents working there and doing absolutely nothing was quite impressive.
