April 1: Pavillon de l’Arsenal (Pavillion of the Arsenal)

Yawn-fest. This space has special exhibitions (they’re currently dismantling one), along with a medium-sized permanent exhibition on the urban history of Paris – you know, prehistoric settlement patterns, urban planning projects, and… sorry, just fell asleep there for a second. It’s just texts, videos, and scale models, and has much more detail than the casual tourist will want and far less detail than the urban history buff would demand. Go to the City of Architecture instead.
