Traveler reviews
MrOctolavo
★★★★★4 months agoWonderful museum with some beautiful art, history and culture from across the world. I really enjoyed going through it and seeing all the various artefacts. I particularly loved the African section with the textiles and fashion from Africa. The masks were also lovely. Highly recommended for anyone who is visiting Paris. It's near the Eiffel Tower so you can do both on the same day.

★★★★★2 months agoFound the museum by chance walking over to the Eiffel Tower and even though I had passed it many times. I had never gone in. Forced by the rain, I went in and I loved it! Loads of African art, and not just that- loads of Polynesia, Australian, north and south American native art. Loads of stuff for kids to play with.
