On the museum and monument side, the Palais Galliera, a showcase for thehistory of fashion in Paris, also joins in this great cultural celebration: it's one of the places not to be missed during the Journées du Patrimoine. The museum was originally the brainchild of the Duchess of Galliera, to house her art collection. Following her death in 1888, the architect Paul-René-Léon Ginain continued the work, which was already well advanced, until the monument was completed in early 1894.
Finally, in 1895, the site was inaugurated as a Museum of Industrial Art, and was definitively dedicated to fashion in 1977, by the Mairie de Paris. Today, the Palais Galliera is a legendary Parisian landmark, recognizable by its "Beaux-Arts" aesthetic and its privileged square offering a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower. The rooms and galleries still house the collections of the great couturiers who have embroidered thehistory of fashion over the years.
Located in one of Paris's most emblematic fashion districts, La Galerie Dior, the Yves Saint Laurent Paris Museum and the Palais Galliera, Paris's fashion museum, are joining forces to offer an exceptional walking tour of their historic and precious fashion heritage.
Guided by a lecturer, participants will discover three complementary approaches to preserving and passing on Paris's fashion heritage, three stories of exceptional collections and places, three singular ways of exhibiting fashion.
Featuring some 300 works, this chronological tour of the museum's collections traces the history of fashion from the 18th century to the present day, while developing a cross-disciplinary theme dedicated to the body in motion.
Echoing the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the museum examines the place of clothing in the practice of physical and sporting activities, its relationship to the body and movement, and the social consequences of its evolution.
A focus is also dedicated to beachwear, revealing pieces rarely shown to the public.
For a journey through three centuries of fashion and sport, a museum lecturer welcomes children
(aged 7 and over) accompanied by an adult. Between strolling, swimming, horse-riding, motoring and tennis, participants discover the sometimes surprising silhouettes, colors, patterns and accessories of different periods in history. A captivating dive into the world of sports and beach fashion!
The guided tour in LSF of the collections exhibition Fashion in Motion#2 allows you to discover the history of fashion from the 18th century to the present day, through elegant and sporty silhouettes evoking walking, bathing, cycling, horse-riding and the automobile.
