Program

Discover the Tropical Aquarium at the Palais de la Porte Dorée: from mountain streams to coral reefs, from the Great Lakes of Africa to the wetlands of Asia and the Americas, set off on a journey through tropical oceanic and continental waters… right on the doorstep of Paris!  

The permanent exhibition at the Musée national de l'histoire de l'immigration traces the history of France from 1685 to the present day through the lens of migration. Completely redesigned in 2023, it offers a chronological, thematic and sensitive overview of this shared history. Marked by eleven key dates, it concludes with a section devoted to contemporary issues. 

Through the lens of contemporary art and guided by scientific data, the exhibition Origins questions one of the most powerful and persistent factors of discrimination in our society. ‘Origin’, whether real or imagined, is a cause of daily exclusion and stigmatisation. It is a reality that often goes unacknowledged, even though it shapes both collective and individual life paths from the earliest childhood.

De sa grille d’entrée aux luminaires, en passant par son bas-relief monumental, le Palais de la Porte Dorée, aujourd'hui classé monument historique, se découvre au fil d’un parcours mêlant art, histoire et mémoire.
