Carnavalet Museum / Snøhetta

The renovated museum offers an enhanced visitor’s experience that provides a unique journey through time to discover the rich history of the city of Paris – a story told through 625,000 artefacts, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, woodwork, art pieces, and photography. Snøhetta has participated in the overall reorganization of the layout of the museum, working hand in hand with Chatillon Architectes to offer a new visitor experience that can accommodate a large number of visitors all while carefully respecting the original features of the museum.
