Musée Guimet
The Musée Guimet, or National Asiatic Arts Museum was founded in 1889 by Emile Guimet, a businessman and scholar from Lyon whose visits around the world allowed him to amass a large collection in a relatively short amount of time. Housed in the building that he commissioned especially for it, and with a permanent collection spanning 5500m², the museum is considered to be the largest of its kind outside of Asia.
With items from Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Himalayas, Southeast Asia, China, Corea, India and Japan, the collection is pretty much exhaustive, and Guimet even has two extra mini-museums to house more. For example, check out the Panthéon Bouddhique two minutes away at 19 avenue d'Iéna and its rooms full of Buddhas. The amazing Japanese garden with its pontoons, bamboo and tea pavilion also make for an original and agreeable break in the summer.
Encounter with the work of the pioneer of the underground scene
Moving from New York graffiti to a career as a star painter alongside Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-88) is the symbol of a generation.
This is the first major retrospective in Paris devoted to SAMO, a rebel on the fringe, who tragically died of an overdose, aged just 28 years old.
His work, ever-influenced by his urban environment, has its roots in cartoon strips, advertising and rap, and so defines a new popular cross-culture that is raw and Wild.
