Opened in 2023 after a lengthy renovation, Hangar Y has quickly become a popular cultural and lifestyle venue for the people of Paris. Exhibitions, immersive experiences, film screenings, family workshops: Hangar Y offers a rich and diverse program for all audiences.
This former airship hangar attracts the curious only with its unusual architecture and history. Built from elements of the machine gallery from the 1878 Universal Exhibition, reused during the First World War, transformed into the Air and Space Museum between the wars... This impressive building is sure to fascinate many a visitor!
To find out all there is to know about this extraordinary place, and to take advantage of unique family events, come and visit Hangar Y on September 21 and 22, 2024: the site is opening its doors free of charge to all on the occasion of the new edition of the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days). This annual cultural event gives us the opportunity to enjoy important or unusual sites, while discovering the riches of France.
This audioguide is based on the bone conduction technique, thanks to light headphones worn in front of the ears. Equipped with your smartphone, the tour takes you on a guided tour of 6 sculptures and artistic installations, combining voice-over, sound creation and music.
Come and discover the history of the Hangar Y site, from the construction of the Bassin de Chalais, designed by Le Nôtre as part of the grand perspective of the Château de Meudon in the 17th century, through the first airship flight in 1884, to the rehabilitation project that led to its reopening in spring 2023.
Artist Zoé Vayssières has selected 100 words from thousands produced by an AI fed with multiple resources on Hangar Y. 100 words symbolizing the site's past, present and future, which will gradually take over the great nave.
The performance will be followed by an exchange with the artist.
