The city of Paris owns several interesting museums. One of the most eye-catching and exuberant ones is the Petit Palais.
This museum has a fine arts collection of 19th and 20th century art but there are also temporary exhibits. The building itself is well worth a visit too!
The palais was built for the 1900 World Fair and re-opened in 2005 after large-scale renovations. The inside ànd outside are full of ornaments, paintings, gold, exotic plants, etc. etc.

We were here for a Goya exhibit (which was terrific by the way) and we didn't see the permanent collection. The Goya exhibit has ended by now but I'm sure there will be new exhibits!
