Musee Guimet
The Guimet Museum is the national museum of Asian art, home to the largest collection of items of its kind housed in four fantastic floors of historic artifacts. The collection was started by Emile Guimet who traveled to Egypt and Asia, amassing a remarkable collection of art pieces from the areas. The museum now includes items from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Korea, India, and Japan. The collection of stone statues of Buddhist figures on the ground floor is astonishing, and is telling of the other works to come as you visit each floor.
