A place worth knowing

Start indoors, then see where the afternoon takes you. Cernuschi’s Asian collections offer a change of scale from the park next door: choose a few objects to linger over rather than treating every room as a task.

Individual visitors can enter the permanent collection without a booking, subject to capacity. Temporary exhibitions and organised activities may have separate charges. The museum does not admit pushchairs, so families should plan accordingly. Rooms begin closing at 17:45. The façade photograph dates from 2008; practical details were checked against the museum’s own information.
