American Center for Art and Culture

The American Center for Art and Culture, formerly known as the Mona Bismarck American Center, was a cultural institution in Paris, France, that was active from 1986 to 2022. It was dedicated to the presentation of American creation and culture.

History
The Center Located near the Seine, across from the Eiffel Tower, the hôtel particulier (French for 'townhouse') at 34 Avenue de New York was built at the end of the 19th century. The building was featured in a 1928 issue of Vogue. It was reconfigured for Mona Bismarck during the late 1950s by French interior decorator Stéphane Boudin. == Programming ==
