Musée du Jeu de Paume

Musée du Jeu de Paume Review

This 19th-century building at the entrance to the Jardin des Tuileries, on the Rue de Rivoli side, was once used for jeu de paume (or "palm game," a forerunner of tennis). It later served as a transfer point for art looted by the Germans in World War II. Today it's been given another lease on life as an ultramodern, white-walled showcase for excellent temporary photography exhibits displaying icons such as Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Cindy Sherman, and Robert Frank, as well as up-and-comers.
