Extract

Located in the heart of the French capital, between the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysées, the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine opened its doors in September 2007. This new cultural institution offers its varied visitors, from specialists to the simply curious, a vast reference library specialising in modern and contemporary architecture. Unique in Europe because of the nature of its holdings and its accessibility, this new library is also an architectural adventure, mixing contemporary volumes and reproductions of Romanesque paintings.
