Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts Welcome to Asia

6 Place d'Iéna Paris 75116 +33 1 5652 5300 http://www.museeguimet.fr

This museum was founded from the private collection of an industrialist from Lyons, Emile Guimet, who left it to the State in 1885. He had gathered many art treasures during a scientific mission to the Far East studying world religions. Over a period of years, other bequests and archaeological acquisitions were added. The works exhibited illustrate the art and spiritual history from South East Asia, India, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Japan, and Korea. Admission for the permanent exhibition is EUR6.50 for adults and the first of every month is free. Permanent and temporary exhibition's access is EUR8. Free audioguides are available in eight different languages. Review © 2009, Wcities
