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).

Immense et magnifique musée avec beaucoup beaucoup de choses à voir.
Par contre j'ai été surpris du nombre de spots en panne. C'est vraiment dommage, un certain nombre d'œuvres sont dans une pénombre rédhibitoire.

Almost a refreshing change from European cultures and history to step into the Guimet. Having lived in and visited many parts of Asia it was almost a trip through memory lane, but there was a bit of confusion as to how to best look through the venue. With items in collections by country it didn't offer any flow and it was difficult to know which way to walk to best view all of the collections. I was also a little disappointed as I have heard that the Guimet owns one of the 2 scrolls that are thought to represent Hokusai's final works, "Dragon" which I was lucky enough to see on display next to its partner "Tiger in the Rain" in Tokyo in 2019. There is nothing about it mentioned and it is definitely not on display. Overall the collection felt like just that, a collection of bits and pieces rather than a journey through the cultures that make up Asia.

Musée à visiter absolument. Les collections sont magnifiques. Il est important de bien prendre son temps pour la visite, il y’a tellement de détails à observer.
