Museum housing exhibits recounting the evolution of great civilizations marked by Buddhism, Hinduism...
Émile Guimet (1836-1918), a native of Lyon with a passion for the Orient, brought back priceless treasures from his various travels. And it was after a trip to Egypt that he had the idea of creating a museum of religions in the building he had erected on Place d'Iéna. Founded in 1889, the Musée Guimet today houses "the most comprehensive collection of Asian art in the world", made up of Guimet's treasures and since enriched. It also houses the Musée d'Ennery (a Mecca of Japonism) and the Hôtel d'Heidelbach (dedicated to imperial Chinese furniture).

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
특히 인도, 파키스탄, 캄보디아 등 다양한 나라의 고대 불교 유물과 당시 생활상을 볼 수 있어 좋다
또 여러 특별 전시전들도 구성이나 디스플레이도 매우 신경쓴 모습이라 3시간이 금방 지나갔다
