Our news - Exhibitions and Museums

A museum with Christmas illuminations? It’s true! For the second year in a row, the Jardin des Plantes invites you on a magical journey through its aisles that provides a link between the festive season and a scientific exhibition of the highest purpose. A magnificent feat that is sure to repeat the huge popular success of last year’s light sculpture event. Treat yourself and your family to a visit during your stay at the Platine Hotel!

The Platine Hotel owes its inspiration to her! Despite the passing years and generations, Marilyn Monroe remains the absolute icon of femininity and glamour and the 200 shots taken by three of the greatest American photographers of the time, currently exhibited in the Marais, most assuredly confirm her status.

While we are all aware of famous places like the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and the Pompidou Centre, the capital is also filled with unusual and lesser-known museums. Treat yourself to an original outing from our selection of offbeat museums.

A citadel of wood and glass close to the banks of the Seine, the Musée du Quai Branly is one of the newest Parisian museums. Established with the aid of former president Jacques Chirac, the museum honours often neglected, non-European civilisations.  In just over 12 years, its collections have captured the imaginations of over 15 million visitors.
