A place worth knowing

Start with a material, a region or a single object that holds your attention. Guimet is a good place to trade the urge to see everything for a closer look. Leave a little room in the afternoon for the streets around Iéna.

The main museum opens Wednesday to Monday, 10:00–18:00; last entry is 17:30. Standard admission is €15, with free entry on the first Sunday of the month. Annual closures include 1 January, 1 May, 14 July and 25 December. Holiday hours can differ.

This listing is for the museum at 6 place d’Iéna. Maison Guimet and the Musée d’Ennery have separate visiting arrangements. The photograph shows the museum’s rue Boissière facade in 2011.
