Musée Carnavalet - Histoire de Paris

Located in the historic Marais district, the Musée Carnavalet is dedicated to the history of Paris, from its origins to the present day. Opened in 1880, the present-day museum occupies two 16th- and 17th-century mansions. In this remarkable architectural setting, you can discover the museum's rich collections: Gallo-Roman and medieval archaeology, memorabilia from the French Revolution, paintings, sculptures, furniture and objets d'art. The collections are presented in rooms that recreate the atmosphere of private residences from the 15th to the 19th centuries. One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to the orangery, completely restored in 2000. Major exhibitions are organized on a regular basis.
