MUSEE NATIONAL DES ARTS ASIATIQUES GUIMET

The Musée Guimet presents one of the leading collections of Asian art and civilisations in Europe, taking you on a journey through Korea, China and Japan... Explore the museum’s major Chinese collection, which features some 20,000 objects reflecting seven thousand years of Asian art. Fascinating too, the Indian section relates, among other things, different chapters drawn from the Buddhist legend. Not far from the museum, visitors to the Panthéon Bouddhique can enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings of the Japanese garden and experience a tea ceremony, one of the most refined aspects of the Japanese lifestyle.
