Chaillot | Place d'Iéna The Jena Palace was built for the 1937 International Fair and should host a new museum dedicated to public works. Arch. Auguste Perret 1937-43. In 1955, the National Museum of Public Works closed because of lack of attractiveness. Since 1959, it hosts the Conseil économique et social. A new wing was added later - the one shown on this picture. Arch. Paul Vimond 1960.‹›
