Jeu de Paume

Overlooking the Place de la Concorde from the Tuileries Gardens, the imposing Second Empire-style building is in perfect symmetry with the adjacent musée de l'Orangerie.

Originally designed in the 19th century as indoor courts for a game that was a precursor to tennis, the Jeu de Paume then housed a number of impressionist paintings after the Second World War. But in the 1990s this national gallery took a 180-degree turn devoting itself solely to the display of photography in all its forms, both still images and video, from the 19th century to the present day, from Martin Parr to Richard Avedon or Edward Steichen.
