The Centquatre-Paris stands out for the glass roof that spans the entire length of its two massive, parallel wings. Built in eighteen seventy-three, this building served as the municipal funeral home for Paris. Undertakers prepared bodies here for transport to city cemeteries. Today, that vast, industrial interior acts as a free, open space for artists to practice everything from hip-hop dance to circus arts, with the public invited to watch the work happen in real time throughout the galleries.
