Cernuschi Museum

What to expect

It is in the very chic Parc Monceau district that the Cernuschi Museum, entirely dedicated to Asian arts, is located. It houses and displays a collection of over 12,000 works, mainly from Japan, China, Korea, and Vietnam. Established at the end of the 19th century thanks to a significant donation from Henri Cernuschi, a wealthy collector, this museum is particularly renowned for its collection of Chinese bronzes but also for a monumental Buddha sculpture of Japanese origin, which stands in its main hall. Modern art is also well represented, with the Cernuschi Museum showcasing works by Asian artists who lived in France during the last century, including Foujita. It is a real pleasure to wander through this intimate, peaceful museum that features collections of unique richness. A ticket booked through Ticketeaser will allow you to explore one of the most pleasant museums in Paris.
