Inaugurated in 1995, the Cité de la musique was
designed by architect Christian de Portzamparc. He
wanted it in the form of a "dreamlike city", a space
inviting movement, open to the city, a meeting place.
Born from the desire to bring together in one place
the Paris Conservatory and its museum of
instruments, cramped in their premises on the rue de
Madrid, and spaces — concert halls and rehearsal
halls — allowing to organize in optimal conditions
public events, the Cité de la musique was
inaugurated in January 1995. The original project was
thus to bring together the teaching and the
dissemination of music. The architect Christian de
Portzamparc was chosen to realize it. He won the
Pritzker Prize, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for
architects, in 1994, after a decade devoted to
building.
