The Palais de Tokyo (Palace of Tokyo) is a building dedicated to modern and contemporary art, located at 13 avenue du Président-Wilson, near the Trocadéro, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.

The building is separated from the Seine River by the avenue de New-York, which was formerly named Quai Debilly and later Avenue de Tokio (from 1918 to 1945). The name Palais de Tokyo derives from the name of this street.The Palais de Tokyo was inaugurated by President Lebrun on May 24, 1937, at the time of the International Exhibition of Arts and Technology of 1937.The current museum’s exhibit space opened to the public in January 2002.
The Pavillon was established in 2001.Intended as a studio and laboratory space for resident artists and curators invited to the project, the Pavillon is an experimental program, designed to demonstrate the resident artists’ youthful creativity.
Since the opening of the building, the director of the programme has been artist and filmmaker, Ange Leccia.
The Museum also publishes the magazine Palais, which annually releases three editions (Spring, Fall, and Summer). The Magazine features articles centering around a Central artistic theme selected for each edition. The subjects are conceptual, and are explored using photography, various artistic media, essays, and often experimental media. The theme generally coincides with the exhibition concurrently featured at the museum.
