Built in 1937 (by architects Carlu, Boileau, and Azema), the Palais de Chaillot was constructed to be one of the highlights of the 1937 French Colonial Exhibition. Named after the hill that it is built on, the building dominates the Seine River and faces the Eiffel tower. At the time of its construction, the French colonial empire was the second largest in the world and included a large part of northern and western Africa plus Indochina. The building’s appearance is to show others the strength of wealth of the French Empire. The architecture of the Palais de Chaillot is representative of 1937 modern architecture, with two large pavilions separated by a large terrace.

The Palais de Chaillot is also called the Trocadero. It is called this to commemorate the French victory in Spain in 1823. At that time, the French king intervened there to help restore the Spanish absolute monarchy, an action very far from the 1789 French revolution ideas about human rights. Today it houses the Navy museum and the Mankind museum.
Nearby is the Musee du Cinema. Created in 1972, the museum presents "the living history of moving pictures, from their origins to the present day and in all countries". The Musee du Cinema Posters has photographs, manuscripts, costumes, and cameras presented in a setting recreating the magic of the film studios.
