Due to a fault with the air-conditioning system, and to ensure the best possible visiting conditions during the summer months, the exhibitions on display in the La Platine galleries are open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm only, until 23 August 2026 inclusive.
The exhibition Design in Hand: From Language to Object, on display at the National Design Gallery, remains open during normal opening hours : 10.00 am – 12.30 pm and 1.30 pm – 6.00 pm.
The teams at the Cité du design continue to welcome you and provide guidance throughout the day. During this period, the receptionist on duty in the morning at the La Platine shop will then be stationed in the La Mezzanine area of the National Design Gallery to ensure that visitor services continue uninterrupted.
The €2 admission fee remains in place.
Quick tours are also available at the usual times:
• 11.00 : quick tour of the exhibitions at La Platine and the National Design Gallery
