The Petit Palais was created for the Universal Exposition of 1900 as a city museum
in which to showcase the works bought from the yearly Salons.
Most of the collection is the
legacy of Auguste Dutuit.
Among this collection you can find ancient artifacts, medieval objects,
rare manuscripts and books, Dutch paintings from the seventeenth century. The collection
includes western art from the Egyptian era to the present.
Dutuit also left a fund for the
further purchase of works.
Le Petit Palais was opened officially December 11, 1902, between
the Champs-Elysees and the Avenue Alexandre III. The collection includes Poussin's The Massacre
of the Innocents, Ruben's Prosperpina, and Rembrandt's Self-Portrait with Poodle. There are also
Impressionist selections from the nineteenth century by Pisarro, Morisot, Cassatt, Manet, Renoir,
and Gauguin. The museum has also more than 12,000 prints.
