Sergey Kanunnikov
★★★★★a week agoA small and cozy museum — at least compared to the Louvre. Definitely worth spending an hour here. If you’ve been to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, you’ll find some of the missing fragments of its statues here. A very unexpected discovery. The icing on the cake is the rooftop lounge area with a beautiful view.
Morgane Crosnier De Bellaistre
★★★★★6 months agoWay too easily ignored when you travel in Paris, and yet : what a collection. It’s way smaller in size than most museum in Paris, but it also make it way less crowded which is a big big plus. There is an Asian joint in the museum that I also recommend, and it’s a very nice stop to do before or after the Arc de Triomphe.
