The Monnaie de Paris is the oldest coin-minting facility in the world, and it has been situated at 11 Quai de Conti since it first opened in 1775. It was renovated back in 2017 and is now an art museum that welcomes visitors to explore its exhibitions devoted to artisan crafts, the theme of minting, and collections of heritage art.

The permanent collection at Monnaie de Paris mirrors the temporary works of contemporary and modern art. Each year, the museum also holds numerous art exhibitions from diverse contemporary artists, such as Yoko Ono, Maurizio Cattelan, Jef Geys, Jannis Kounellis, Bertrand Lavier, and Subodh Gupta.
