Galeries nationales du Grand Palais

In 1964, at the request of André Malraux, then Minister of Cultural Affairs, Reynold Arnould transformed part of the north wing of the Grand Palais into National Galleries intended to host major temporary exhibitions. In 1966, a retrospective of the painter Pablo Picasso and a major presentation of African art were presented.

In 1977–1978, on the occasion of the quadricentenary of the birth of Peter Paul Rubens, the exhibition "The Century of Rubens in French Public Collections" was held.

Numerous exhibitions of classical, Impressionist (Renoir) and modern painters (Zao Wou-Ki, Prassinos, Mušič, Bazaine, Manessier) have been organised there.
