Museum housing exhibits recounting the evolution of great civilizations marked by Buddhism, Hinduism...
Émile Guimet (1836-1918), a native of Lyon with a passion for the Orient, brought back priceless treasures from his various travels. And it was after a trip to Egypt that he had the idea of creating a museum of religions in the building he had erected on Place d'Iéna. Founded in 1889, the Musée Guimet today houses "the most comprehensive collection of Asian art in the world", made up of Guimet's treasures and since enriched. It also houses the Musée d'Ennery (a Mecca of Japonism) and the Hôtel d'Heidelbach (dedicated to imperial Chinese furniture).
