building

The palace was built by the architect Léon Ginain between 1878 and 1894 on behalf of the Duchess of Galliera, Maria Brignole Sale De Ferrari . The patron had bequeathed the site and building to the city of Paris and originally intended to house a museum for her sculpture collection. The exhibition building on Square Brignole-Galliera served the Paris city council for various purposes for the first eighty years.

Since 1977 the palace has housed the city's fashion museum . The museum building has been renovated since 2009 and shows the original rust-red wall colors and black wood paneling again in 2013. The vaulted ceilings have arabesque paintings, the floors have antique-abstract mosaics created by Giandomenico Facchina .

museum

During the closure, the museum's exhibition activities took place in the Paris City Hall and in the Cité de la mode et du design at the Institut français de la mode . The museum has only 550 m² of exhibition space in five halls in the relatively small Palais Galliera. Its collection includes 30,000 items of clothing from the last three centuries, 50,000 graphic works and 70,000 photographs. This collection has been kept in a depot in the east of Paris since 1994. For conservation and conceptual reasons, the museum does not show a permanent exhibition. Two large changing exhibitions are to be shown annually in the museum. The current museum director, the historian Olivier Saillard , wants to dedicate the exhibitions to the main chapters of costume history on the one hand, and to honor the work of great authors on the other. Azzedine Alaïa was shown in 2013, and an exhibition about Jeanne Lanvin is planned.
