Musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet

The holdings span the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, China, Korea, Japan, and the Himalayan region. Beyond broad regional galleries housing Afghan Buddhas and Japanese prints, the displays trace niche topics like the history of manga and feature unexpected finds, including statue fragments missing from Cambodia’s Angkor Wat.

With permanent and temporary galleries laid out at a more manageable scale than larger Parisian institutions, visitors can cover the collection without fatigue. A ground-floor restaurant and a rooftop lounge area offering open views complete the space.
