The Palais de Tokyo, originally named Palais des Musées d'Art Moderne, is a building dedicated to modern and contemporary art. It is located at 13 avenue du President Wilson in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, following the banks of the Seine a few hundred meters northeast of the Palais de Chaillot, which has a similar architectural style. The building's facade is entirely clad in marble.[1]
The building in question is called "Palais de Tokyo", after the "Quai de Tokio" (now Avenue New-York) on the banks of the Seine, over which its south-eastern facade dominates.[2]
