The Cernuschi Museum: an ideal family visit

  • We love this little museum for the beauty of the exhibits... and also becausehe visits each other pretty quickly. It is a museum where one is not "stunned" by the sum of the exhibits!
  • It's a ideal visit with children because the exhibits speak to their imaginations Fantastic animals, felines with diabolical looks, funerary statuettes...
  • The Cernuschi Museum reopened its doors on March 4, 2020 after 9 months of work. The new museum is beautiful. It is bright and airy. The collections are very well presented and the scenography does not overwhelm the visitors with an accumulation of art objects.
  • Most of the pieces on display come from the collection that Henri Cernuschi brought back from his trip to the Far East (Japan, China, Vietnam and Korea) between 1871 and 1873
  • The objects are beautiful, extremely well highlighted and the explanations are clear and precise.
  • In the showcases, we discover bronzes, ceramics, lacquered wood, paintings, prints and photographs.

The Cernuschi Museum and the young public

  • The museum organizes year-round activities for children and teenagers
  • These activities are centered either around the temporary exhibitions or around the permanent collection and the customs of the Far East
  • For example, workshops are regularly organized around the tea ceremony, around the making of fans, or around the theme of dragons...
  • The activities are by reservation only
  • And of course, if the weather is good, we can take advantage of the very nice Parc Monceau located on the edge of the museum
