About — The place

The National Museum of Asian Arts, commonly known as Musée Guimet, is a museum of Asian arts located in Paris, 6, place d'Iéna, in the 16th arrondissement. It was inaugurated in 1889 under its initial name of Musée des Religions. It has been a public administrative institution since 26 December 2003.

Founded on the initiative of the Lyon industrialist and collector Émile Guimet (1836-1918) for the permanent display of his collection — previously housed in the former Musée Guimet (1879) in Lyon — the Musée Guimet in Paris occupies a building specially constructed for this purpose from 1888 to 1889 by the architect Charles Terrier. From 1994 to 2001, a complete restructuring and renovation was carried out by architects Henri and Bruno Gaudin. Today, it presents one of the most comprehensive collections of Asian arts in the world.

The facade, roofs, and library were listed as historical monuments by an order dated 11 July 1979.
