The Petit Palais is just opposite the Grand Palais. It was also built for the 1900 Paris World Expo. At that time, it mainly displayed French art works. Now it is the Petit Palais Art Museum. The exhibits are mainly works from the Medieval Renaissance to the 19th century. The Petit Palais revolves around a garden. The palace is decorated with a large number of frescoes and dome paintings. Especially noteworthy are the "thought" and "mystery" on the entrance dome, the French historical scenes on the ceiling on the left side of the hall, and the paintings on the right ceiling. "Honor", "Poetic Drama", "Fantasy Music". The collection of the Petit Palais is divided into three parts: various works of art from ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt on the left, furniture and decorative works of art from the 18th century on the right, and oil paintings from the second half of the 19th century on the middle. Impressionist and Independence works, and some sculptures. In the dining area at the heart of the Petit Palais in Paris, create a dining atmosphere full of early twentieth-century art and sit at the table with unobstructed views of the garden. In addition, at the south corner of the Petit Palais, you can see the statue of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

one of the more underrated museums in Paris. Permanent exhibitions and galleries are free! and you don’t have to queue to enter as opposed to the Louvre.
There are not many tourists here, there are too many art galleries in Paris, this very domineering building is often ignored, directly facing the Alexander III Bridge, the collection is very good, the environment is very good.
The Palais de Paris is a very famous art exhibition in Paris, where many works of European classical and modern painters are collected. The whole exhibition hall is very elegant and quiet, and every beautiful painting is there quietly waiting for every visitor to see him. It is really worth visiting to see these famous and beautiful paintings.
[View] Charming view [Cost-effective] Very high worth a visit
I visited this museum twice in Paris. Compared with the large museums such as the Louvre and Osay, the reputation of the small palace is much worse, but the collections and buildings in the small palace themselves are not worse than the well-known museums with a reputation, and the small palace has two advantages: one is free, and the other is that there are many fewer tourists. You can calm down and enjoy it slowly. Last time I came to the small palace, there happened to be a special exhibition in the holding, but the inherent collection did not have time to see, this time just to make up for this class. The main collection is oil paintings and sculptures. Although there is no special heavyweight collection, the overall level is definitely not low. Tourists can also visit the garden behind the small palace. It is in the severe winter, and the plants in the garden are withering and depressed. If you want to come, if it is spring blossom season, it is very pleasant to have a cup of coffee in the cafe in the garden!
Little palace, unexpectedly free. There are really too many French art collections and the artistic atmosphere is too strong. Let's wake up at dawn and be calm and uneasy. The whole world at the Little Palace Museum is shaking relaxedly and sleeping peacefully.
The small palace in Paris is located in the heart of Paris. Close to the Arc de Triomphe, it is also a regular check-in spot for tourists to Paris. There are long-term exhibitions inside. What is worth recommending is the interior garden, which is small but beautiful.
