Palais d'Iéna, Art Deco palace in 16th arrondissement, France

The Palais d'Iéna features an impressive hypostyle hall with eighteen truncated cone-shaped columns, a hemicycle, and a monumental concrete staircase.

Architect Auguste Perret designed this structure for the 1937 Universal Exhibition, initially housing the Public Works Museum until 1955.

The building currently serves as headquarters for the Economic, Social and Environmental Council while hosting contemporary art exhibitions throughout the year.

Located at 9 Place d'Iéna, the palace opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with extended hours until 22:30 on Thursdays.

The structure demonstrates early innovations in concrete architecture, incorporating fluted columns along Avenue d'Iéna and a rotunda facing Place d'Iéna.
