Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris & Musée des Enfants

This museum bordering the Seine has a permanent collection of paintings and sculpture owned by the city, but come here only if visits to the d'Orsay and Louvre haven't satiated you. It presents ever-changing exhibits on individual artists from all over the world or on trends in international art. You'll find works by Chagall, Matisse, Léger, Rothko, Braque, Dufy, Picasso, Utrillo, and Modigliani. Seek out Pierre Tal Coat's Portrait of Gertrude Stein, and keep Picasso's version of this difficult subject in mind. The Musée des Enfants has exhibits and shows for children.
