Near the Bastille beside the Seine, this centre for architecture and urban planning is housed in a handsome 19th-century iron-and-glass building originally built to display a merchant's art collection. It presents the history and future of Paris through a large illuminated model of the city, permanent displays on its urban development, and temporary exhibitions on architecture and town planning. Admission is free, and the airy hall serves as a resource for anyone curious about how the capital was built and how it continues to evolve.
