The Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine is the only institution in the world dedicated to contemporary architecture and heritage. It brings together a museum, a school, a center for contemporary architecture, a library and an archive.
The museum is one of the oldest institutions dedicated to architecture and heritage. At 8,000 square meters, it is also the largest museum of monumental art in existence. The sculpture, mural and stained-glass rooms showcase architecture and monumental art, while the contemporary collections illustrate how our built environment has been created and evolved over the last century and a half.

The castings and reproduction of architecture are great, the recreated murals (especially the dome) are beautiful and the architectural models are fascinating. And the full scale build of the Corbusier apartment is fascinating.
Never too busy and with great views if the Eiffel tower.
