Petit Palais

Petit Palais in Paris is a museum that displays paintings, sculpture, and antique furniture from the classical period to the modern and contemporary era. The permanent collection is free to view and shows works by old masters alongside pieces by Bilal Hamdad. Entering before 11 a.m. allows admission without waiting in line, and the courtyard has a cloister surrounding a garden and pond. Temporary exhibitions admit visitors at a time slot about one hour later when tickets are bought on site.
