The museum is located in the Hôtel Gaillard, a historical monument located in the Plaine-Monceau district that dates back to the 19th century. Its restoration has only added to the city’s already stunning cultural heritage. Citéco will serve as the hub for the « Journées de l’Économie » economic event on 5-7 November 2019, when stakeholders will gather to discuss financial stability and monetary strategy in Europe.
