Hangar Y, Airship hangar in Meudon, France
The metal structure of Hangar Y stretches 70 meters in length, featuring large glass windows and a distinctive curved roof designed for housing dirigible aircraft.
Built in 1879, Hangar Y incorporated structural elements from the Grande Galerie des Machines of the 1878 Universal Exhibition in Paris to create the first airship facility.
The Art Explora Foundation presents two major exhibitions annually inside Hangar Y, connecting themes of science, nature, and contemporary art through various installations.
The restored facility contains 3,900 square meters of exhibition space, a waterfront restaurant, and multiple rooms for workshops within a 10-hectare natural park.
Engineers Charles Renard and Arthur Constantin Krebs constructed the first controllable electric-powered airship La France inside this metal structure in 1884.
