ABOUT OUR COLLECTIONS

Dear visitors,

The exhibition 'Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto' is currently on display on both levels of the museum.

To discover our permanent collections, we invite you to visit us in Spring 2021. For the first time in the history of the Palais Galliera, the new galleries on the ground floor will offer you a new perspective on the history of fashion, from the 18th century to the present day, through a renewed tour of our collections.
