Museum of Modern Art Paris
Chronologically speaking, the Musee d' Art Moderne de La Ville de Paris (Paris Museum of Modern Art) picks up where the Orsay leaves off. Both temporary exhibits and a permanent collection of top-quality 20th-century art can be found here. The museum is housed in the Palais de Tokyo which was built for the 1937 World Exhibition. Significantly, one of the main exhibits is a huge work called La Fee Electricite , painted by Raoul Dufy for the 'Light pavilion' at the Exhibition.

The collection of paintings is particularly rich. One of the rooms is devoted to works by Matisse, including two versions of his famous La Danse. Other artists such as Braque, Picasso, Delaunay, Leger, Rouault, Utrillo and several abstract painters are well represented, as are most of the major artistic trends of the 20th century. Art deco furniture and objets d'art are displayed in a special room, while photography and textiles are given a prominent place in the museum
