The architecture of Musée du Jeu de Paume is worth admiring with its elegant and intricate forms, designed by the eminent architect Stinco. The interior of this museum features the unique staircase and galleries with white, spotless walls and wooden floors. The massive height of the building gives an overpowering effect.
