Through the most beautiful pieces from the museum's various departments, from the 17th to the 21st century, photography, graphic arts and accessories, this book tells the story of the Palais Galliera and its collections from a new angle.

The photographic campaign was entrusted to Stanislas Wolff, whose sense of composition and light particularly highlights the masterpieces of the Palais Galliera.
