Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais Reviews
Rated out of 5
Liked the concept of the balloon 🎈 exhibition.
The place where the balloon was created by professional artists. But must do something about some things over there. As some of the place are damaged by the visitors and not stable even they do put some signs 🪧 about that. Not for touching.
But over all the experience was good and nice. The tickets 🎫 were a bit expensive but no worries. As the shop at the end of the show. No one did or will buy things from them. And I think this is the reason why they must reduce their prices.
And must keep the languages for tourists who don’t speak French!

not the first time (as i had seen an exhibition before) but the first time i saw a larger part of the grand palais and it really moved me. everything was sparkling in the morning sunlight and i was also one of the first people to walk in when they opened. what a great experience!

Went for the most recent exhibit they had featuring a brazilian artist. So many free activities and learning opportunities. It’s in a super walkable area as well and the building is extremely beautiful. The air conditioning and cafe inside was a nice touch too.

Breathtaking iconic structure from 1900 with glass and steel roof shaped like a flower. You can see the top of it from many places in Paris. Free to enter. Some exhibits are free, and some have a fee to enter but you can skip them if not interested and just marvel at being in this space.

Free entry! My wife and I walked up in early afternoon and got right in. Inside was an interesting mix of displays by local artist. All of the displays looked to be interactive, you could walk right up to them and touch them. There was also a nice snack bar inside as well.
