Created in 1934, this museum is housed in a beautiful 19th century mansion surrounded by a garden. It houses one of the most important impressionist collections in the capital, where you can admire 100 of Claude Monet's finest works as well as works by his friends.
The Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine, located in the "Paris" wing of the Palais de Chaillot, is, with its 22,000 m², the largest architecture center in the world.
This museum was the brainchild of Émile Guimet (1836-1918), an industrialist from Lyon, who wanted to create a museum of the religions of Egypt, classical antiquity and Asia. From his travels, he amassed an important collection, initially presented in Lyon from 1879. He later transferred his collections to a museum he had built in Paris, which was inaugurated in 1889.
Located in the Palais de Tokyo, the museum is devoted to contemporary art in all its forms: painting, sculpture, installations, photography and video. The museum's permanent collections, with more than 15,000 works, illustrate the various currents of 20th century art.
Located on the banks of the Seine, near the Eiffel Tower, the Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac Museum exhibits 3,500 works of art from Africa, America, Asia and Oceania. This important collection makes it an essential place for the cultures of non-Western arts.
The Louis Vuitton Foundation is located in the Bois de Boulogne. The Foundation's collections and programming are deeply rooted in the history of the artistic movements of the 20th and 21st centuries and are displayed in an architectural setting designed by the American Frank Gehry.
Our advice: take advantage of the panoramic views offered from the various terraces of the building.
Renowned around the world for its immense collections of art and antiques, the Louvre has a history rich in twists and turns. Little remains of the small fortified castle built by Philippe-Auguste to store the kingdom's treasure.
A haven of peace and a poetic oasis, the museum's gardens are idyllic for a stroll. Different styles can be discovered as you progress: Japanese, English and French gardens.
The museum is dedicated to the preservation, dissemination and promotion of the work of Albert Kahn (1860-1940), philanthropist and humanist banker.
