The Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts

Founded in 1889, The Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts exhibits a unique and outstanding collection of Asian arts spanning 7,000 years of history. It is the most complete collection of Asian arts in Europe, with over 60,000 objects including sculpture, porcelain, woodblock print, painting, textiles, furniture, precious jewellery, and 500,000 photographic media, bringing to light Asia from Afghanistan to Japan, India, China, Korea, and South-East Asia, from the Neolithic period to the present day. With 5,500 square meters worth of permanent exhibition space, one state-of-the-art auditorium, a restaurant, a research library, and a 3-level roof-terrace with a stunning view on Paris, the Guimet Museum is a vibrant place dedicated to exchanging and discovering cultures, religions, and schools of thought in Asia. It offers temporary exhibitions and a rich artistic, cultural programme featuring shows, encounters, workshops, and more, with a connection to current conversations and contemporary creations.
