Pinacothèque de Paris

Pinacothèque de Paris, Art museum in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France

The Pinacothèque de Paris occupied a pale stone corner building at 28 place de la Madeleine, with a dark fascia reading "Pinacothèque • Les Collections" in gold. Its 2,000 m² spanned three levels: a basement, ground floor and first floor lined with coursives along 19th-century warehouses. The 2011 extension at 8 rue Vignon added two levels, one for the Collections and one for temporary exhibitions.

Marc Restellini founded the gallery in 2003 at 30 bis rue de Paradis, where Picasso Intime opened that autumn. It moved to 28 place de la Madeleine on 15 June 2007 and added a 3,000 m² space at 8 rue Vignon in January 2011. Placed in receivership in November 2015, it closed on 15 February 2016.

The museum displayed works by both established and contemporary artists, bringing together different periods and styles of art history. Visitors could experience classical masters alongside modern creators within the same galleries.

The museum occupied about 2,000 square metres over three levels at 28 place de la Madeleine: a basement, a ground floor and a first floor with 19th-century warehouse walkways. The 2011 exhibition rooms were reached from 8 rue Vignon, on two levels, one for the Collections and one for temporary shows. Each site had a shop and a bookshop.

The gallery had no permanent collection and no public subsidy; ticket sales were its main income. Its 2011 extension at 8 rue Vignon, about 3,000 m², was reached through the building's 19th-century warehouses, whose walkways run along the old storerooms. In 2017 its visitor figures were judged to have been inflated.
