What to expect
The
Cernuschi Museum, entirely dedicated to Asian arts, is located in the very chic Parc Monceau district. It holds and presents to the public a collection of over 12,000 works, mainly from
Japan, China, Korea and Vietnam. Created at the end of the nineteenth century thanks to an important donation from
Henri Cernuschi, a rich collector, this museum is particularly famous for its collection of Chinese bronzes but also for a monumental sculpture of Buddha of Japanese origin, throning in its main room. Modern art is not to be outdone and the Cernuschi Museum also honours the works of Asian artists who lived in France during the last century, notably Foujita. It is a real pleasure to stroll in this museum on a human scale, peaceful but presenting collections of a unique richness. A ticket reserved with
Ticketeaser will allow you to discover one of the most pleasant museums in Paris.
