Museums / Galleries, Trocadéro/Tour Eiffel
Fodor's Review:
This luxurious mansion, built in 1888 for the Duchesse de Galliera, opens only for special exhibitions on costume and clothing design. Although the generous Duchesse, who donated her mansion to the city, might not recognize the exhibition rooms, the mansion's garden was restored to its 19th-century style in 2005. Thanks to its aggressive curatorial team, this museum has quickly won attention; its Marlene Dietrich show, for instance, influenced many fashion-designer collections. It's closed through October 2007, at least, for renovations, so check before you go.
