One enormous room, and whatever has been put in it this month. The nave is about 200 m long and 50 m wide under roughly 14,000 m² of glass roof, which makes it one of the largest covered spaces in Paris and the reason the building takes art fairs, fashion shows and Olympic events rather than a permanent collection. The Palais de la Découverte, the science museum, occupies the west wing. The restoration reopened galleries, added new public entrances and increased capacity.

The nave under its glass roof is the photograph — 200 m of iron and light, best in late afternoon when the sun rakes through the vault rather than falling straight down. Whether it can be taken depends on the exhibition, which sets its own rules. From outside, the building's best angle is from the Pont Alexandre III, where the glass roof and the quadrigas on the corners read together against the sky.
