The Petit Palais was originally built in 1900 when Paris hosted the Exposition Universelle, or World Exposition. Designed by Charles Girault it is based on a Trapezium shape, made up of 4 wings surrounding a peaceful semicircular courtyard. Now used as the Paris Museum of Fine Arts, the Palace holds a range of art works from Ancient Greece up until the First World War. Visitors can also discover a range of temporary exhibitions.
