Whenever I travel, the key to my heart is to visit as many museums as possible. From history to art and the off-beat variety, I want to take in as much of a city’s culture as possible. In Paris, there are countless museums, large and small, to explore. Each time I visit, I find myself revisiting old favorites while still making time to visit something new. Here’s a list of my absolute favorites for you to peruse on your next trip to Paris.
Musée Carnavalet
Nestled in the heart of the Marais, Musée Carnavalet is a time capsule of Parisian history. Housed in two grand mansions, it immerses visitors in the city’s evolution through a captivating collection of artifacts, paintings, and reconstructed period rooms.
Musée d’Orsay
Housed in a former railway station, Musée d’Orsay is a treasure trove of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces. From Monet’s water lilies to Van Gogh’s starry nights, the museum showcases the evolution of art from the mid-19th to early 20th century.
Louvre Museum
The Louvre, a cultural icon, needs no introduction. Home to the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, it’s the world’s largest art museum. Spanning centuries and civilizations, the Louvre is a journey through art and history beneath the iconic glass pyramid.
Musée Rodin
Set in a serene garden, Musée Rodin celebrates the works of the renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin. The museum showcases his iconic creations, including The Thinker and The Kiss, in an intimate setting that beautifully complements the artist’s mastery.
Palais Galleria
The Palais Galliera, Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, is a haven for fashion enthusiasts. Housed in a majestic 19th-century palace, it exhibits a rich tapestry of fashion history, from exquisite garments to evolving trends that echo through the corridors of time.
Musée Picasso
Musée Picasso is a testament to the artistic legacy of Pablo Picasso. The museum offers an intimate exploration of the artist’s prolific career, featuring paintings, sculptures, and personal archives that unveil the creative genius behind the canvas.
As we bid adieu to this curated journey through Paris’s gems, this being the last of my Paris blog posts, I’m already daydreaming of our next trip to this incredible city. Next time, we’ll most likely have a little one in tow. It makes me all the more excited to create another generation of francophiles and a lifelong partner in crime to explore with.
Love from Paris,
