he Grand Hall, or, the Entrance Hall, is the most vastly room in the Embassy. The rest of the building is organised around this reception room of majestic proportions.
In addition to the grand staircase, and the original elements of decoration, three Art Deco tapestries made by Marcel Gromaire, with the seasons as their theme, set the artistic tone of the Embassy.
