The Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne (International Exposition of Art and Technology in Modern Life) was held from 25 May to 25 November 1937 in Paris, France. Both the Palais de Chaillot, housing the Musée de l’Homme, and the Palais de Tokyo, which houses the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, were created for this exhibition that was officially sanctioned by the Bureau International of exposure. A third building, Palais d’Iéna [fr], housing the permanent Museum of Public Works, which was originally to be among the new museums created on the hill of Chaillot on the occasion of the Exhibition, was not built until January 1937 and inaugurated in March 1939.
