Aerog'art, the former Invalides air terminal transformed into a future Parisian cultural venue

Did you know? Theesplanade des Invalides in Paris, where you can see the iconic monument with its golden dome, is also home to a former air terminal, a relic of the 1900 Universal Exhibition. This little-known treasure of the capital is preparing to be reborn following a call for projects Réinventer Paris II. By 2027, theInvalides air terminal will becomeAérog'art, a cultural living space that should reconcile the love of art with that of gastronomy.

The future Musée & École Fondation Giacometti will feature a selection of several hundred works by Alberto Giacometti. According to the SemPariSeine website, this project, for which work is due to start in 2024, will occupy 7,500m2 spread over 4 levels. A patio will link the terminal to the Grande Halle, and a monumental staircase will also provide access from the Esplanade des Invalides to the sub-slab where the Grande Halle is located.
