Jeu de Paume is an art centre with a strong reputation for exhibiting and promoting all forms of mechanical and electronic imagery (photography, cinema, video, installation, web art, etc.). It produces and coproduces exhibitions but also organises film programmes, symposiums and seminars and educational activities, and publishes.
With its high-profile exhibitions of artists established, little-known and emerging (especially in the Satellite programme), Jeu de Paume ties together different narrative strands, mixing the historic and the contemporary, oscillating between resonance and dissonance, and attracting a broad and diverse public.
Beyond its flagship building on Place de la Concorde, Paris, Jeu de Paume has developed a partnership with the city of Tours for the presentation of heritage exhibitions at the Château de Tours since 2010. These events showcase donations made to the state and archives kept by public and private institutions both in France and abroad in a programme designed to attract new categories of visitor around the region.
In addition to these two venues, exhibitions organised by Jeu de Paume are seen around the world thanks to collaboration, interaction and cooperation with other national or international institutions on the basis of mutual affinities.
