Museum of Modern Art

In Paris, in the east wing of the Tokyo Palace, is the Museum of Modern Art. It presents more than 8,000 unique exhibits of various art trends of the XX century.

In 1937, the International Exhibition of Technology and Arts was held in Paris. The French government planned to open a museum. But this was not destined to come true, and all the works of talented artists who bought Paris at the exhibition were in a completely different place - in the Museum of the Small Palace. Over time, this museum ceases to contain all the collected exhibits, so the City Museum of Modern Art opens in the Tokyo Palace.

The architecture of the museum is made in classical style. Large columns, semicircular steps leading to the building. The entrance to the building is decorated with a huge door made of glass mosaics. Inside is a large collection exhibited in chronological order. Some of the exhibits belong to 1937, they were collected during the construction of the Tokyo Palace. Here are all the art objects that Dr. Girardin gave to the museum. The modern section presents various currents: realism, fluxus, Figuration narrative and the flow of like-minded artists.

On the night of May 20, 2010, 100 million euros were stolen. Five legendary paintings were stolen. The museum has its own dark history.
