7 avenue Vélasquez
75008 PARIS
Unknown to most Parisians, this museum houses an admirably displayed Chinese and Japanese art collection which includes antique bronze works, an astonishing series of terra-cotta funeral statuettes, and a fifth-century sitting bodhisattva.
Much of Paris’s history is recalled at the Musée Carnavalet. The museum’s collections are housed in a very attractive sixteenth-century hotel, the center of which is enhanced by a garden lined with finely sculpted shrubs and surrounded by flowers beds. Currently displayed works of art date from the end of the sixteenth century to the present and include antique signposts, district topographical charts, scale models of monuments, woodwork, furniture and many other objects.
