Musée Cernuschi - Musée des arts de l'Asie de la Ville de Paris

Located on the edge of the Parc Monceau, the museum is housed in the former mansion of Henri Cernuschi, who donated his home and his Asian art collections to the City of Paris. The legacy of 150 years of discoveries, the museum's unique collections of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Korean art now span almost 5 millennia, from prehistory to the 21st century.
The spaciousness and refinement typical of the private mansions of the Plaine Monceau make this the ideal setting for prestigious events, notably in the Great Buddha Hall. In March 2020, following a major renovation campaign, the Musée Cernuschi unveiled to the public a completely redesigned and enriched tour of its collections. All reception areas are accessible to people with reduced mobility.
