Paris - Musée Guimet (Arts Asiatiques Guimet)

 
The Musée National Guimet has the most important collection of Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, Nepalese and Tibetan art in France. The foundation of the museum was laid at the end of the 19th C, when the Lyons industrialist and traveller Emile Guimet (1836-1918) bequeathed his collection to the city of Paris. Since then the collection has been continuously enlarged in cooperation with the associated Institute for Research into East Asian Culture.
