About Architecture and Heritage Museum
The Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine occupies the east wing of the Palais de Chaillot, directly facing the Eiffel Tower across the Seine. Covering 22,000 square meters, it is the largest architecture museum in the world. The permanent collection spans three galleries: the Gallery of Casts displays over 350 full-scale plaster reproductions of portals, capitals, and architectural fragments from French buildings dating from the medieval period to the 16th century.

Several 19th-century plaster casts in the collection are now more accurate records of medieval sculptures than the originals themselves. The source buildings have suffered over a century of additional weathering, pollution damage, and wartime destruction since the casts were made, making these reproductions irreplaceable historical documents.
