The National Maritime Museum’s Paris site will be reopening its doors to the general public in 2023. In a brand new setting restoring the Palais de Chaillot’s full architectural magnificence, the museum will enable visitors to rediscover its heritage collections, including items from the Louvre's Marine rooms, in an emotional immersive journey. By doing so, it will make families and future generations more aware of the 21st century’s major maritime issues.

In parallel with its architectural and museographic renovation, the Palais de Chaillot, a true living environment, will also be equipped with new areas suitable for private receptions: a restaurant, a catering area, a foyer and an adaptable 200-seat auditorium, as well as two seminar rooms, both of which offer breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower.
