Musée des Arts asiatiques-Guimet

The Guimet is France’s leading museum of Asian art. It was first established by Emile Guimet, a Lyon businessman, in 1889. Although it originally began with his private collection, new items were incorporated, such as art work from China, Japan and other countries of Northeast Asia. Objects form the Mediterranean area such as Egypt and Turkey are also included among the museums collections.
