Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris

A stone's throw from the city's most prestigious haute couture boutiques, the Musee Galliera is housed in a Renaissance-inspired palace. With its programme of temporary, themed exhibitions - legendary designers, fashion icons, clothing styles, influences and inspirations - the museum draws upon its priceless, often delicate archives to shine a light on the creative spirit which has inspired fashion from the eighteenth century right up to the present day. The museum has no permanent collections.
