The Nuit des Musées is back for its 21st edition, to the delight of the curious and culture-lovers alike. Everywhere in France, museums, monuments and artistic venues open their doors free of charge, for an evening full of surprises and activities.

Of course, Paris and theÎle-de-France region are part of the party. We're heading for the Hauts-de-Seine, and more specifically Courbevoie. Near the Parc de Bécon, you can discover the Pavillon des Indes, an architecturally original building built for the 1878 Universal Exhibition. Today, the pavilion is an artist's residence and museum space.

The Pavillon des Indes is a historical and architectural curiosity in Courbevoie: take advantage of the Nuit des Musées to visit it! And to add a little spice to the evening, take part in the special activities organized this Saturday, May 17, 2025.
