“Amazing height and ceiling beauty”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2012

I had the opportunity to visit the Grand Palais during a conference dinner, and really enjoyed the building. Its height, the iron architecture, and the colorful glass ceiling is very impressive. However, there is nothing more than this to see and as a visitor it is easy to get bored unless there is an interesting exhibition to view. More

“Art Exhibitions Held Here.”

We saw the Beauty of the Animal art exhibition and it was well done. Many paintings and sculptures of the animal kingdom. A photo exhibition of Helmut Newton was going on in the other side of the Grand Palais and we heard fantastic things about it. More

“Saw the Helmut Newton exhibit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2012

Fascinating. Very worthwhile just to see Newton's work blown up to its intended size. This exhibit not for the kids unless your family is super-comfortable with nudity. More
