Building began in 1878 and the Palais was completed in February 1894.
The Palais Galliera preserves some of the richest collections in the world.
I was fascinated to read that the architectural traditions and technical innovations: under the cut stones, a metal structure that supports the building was carried out by Gustave Eiffel's company which appears in the building permits under the mention: " Locksmithery and ironwork, Mr Eiffel entrepreneur"
And the stair rails, bay windows and grilles of Square Brignole-Galliera come from the same workshops as the Eiffel Tower...
From the beautiful garden filled with sculptures you can see the Eiffel Tower in all her glory.
Ooo i enjoyed sitting here waiting for my friends people watching and a little day dreaming…
2024 I begin my 3rd Year…
I have absolutely loved and embraced this challenge, I feel incredibly grateful to have discovered 365 when I was learning...
How beautiful. I also heard recently that the JO medals will all contain a little piece of metal from the Eiffel Tower. Interesting, and a lovely idea.
Beautiful collage and pictures. Wonderful architecture. I never heard of this Galleria but have been to The Louvre twice, a museum that you go in and wish never to leave.
