Known for its immense and majestic metal-framed canopy, the Grand Palais in Paris, built for the 1900 World's Fair and now a listed Historic Monument, houses the National Galleries in part of its north wing, created on the initiative of André Malraux in 1964. Located just a stone's throw from the Champs-Élysées, these galleries are accessible via the Clémenceau, Square Jean Perrin and Winston Churchill entrances, and serve as a venue for prestigious events. Every year, they host large, temporary exhibitions of international art.
