Nuit des Musées returns on Saturday, May 17, 2025, and for the occasion, many museums are staying open for a free nocturne! Fashion and art aficionados already know where to turn to enjoy this exceptional evening: the Palais Galliera is ready to welcome us, for this 21st edition of Nuit des Musées.
Le programme est mis à jour en fonction des annonces officielles.
It sounds like a fascinating program, but the Palais Galliera is well worth a visit, even without the artifice. Conceived by the Duchess de Galliera as a place to showcase her art collection to the general public, themansion was built in 1894. Unfortunately, due to a clerical error, the Duchesse de Galliera was unable to donate her collection to the city of Paris, preferring instead to donate it to the Palazzo Rosso in Genoa.
The Renaissance-inspired building was then refurbished as a museum of industrial art, failing to receive the Duchess de Galliera's collections. It wasn't until 1977 that the Paris City Council restored the building's original identity: the Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris was finally born.
Today, the Ville de Paris collection comprises more than 200,000 items, including clothing, accessories, photographs and graphic arts from the 18th century to the present day.
Intrigued by this program? There's only one thing left to do: visit the Palais Galliera on May 17!
