Suggestions for History Museum near Paris

MaryAnn J. • November 17, 2013Well worth a visit for the art as well as for the story of the man who built the house and filled it with the beautiful things you'll see. I generally hate audio guides, but the one here is a must.

Sang-uk B. • October 14, 2014나폴레옹 무덤은 별도 건물에 있습니다. 1차/2차 세계대전 전시가 재미있고 충실한 편입니다. 한국어 오디오 가이드는 제공하지 않습니다.

Ayşın A. • July 5, 2015It was an unforgattable and a remarkable experiment to be there .:

Alan S. • October 7, 2014Chinese art from different periods. Exceptional convolute / collection. 🗿

Lefty 6. • October 31, 2012Not really an art museum. Some art, incidental to stories of Leclerc and Moulin (a Free French general, and a resistance icon.) Nice little museum mainly of pix, docs, videos.

Splash • January 27, 2019Suitable for parents with young kids. For everyone else, it’s like a boring fake zoo. Nice bldg but the blue light isn’t great for people for whom seeing in low light is an issue.

Marshall M. • April 12, 2013Fantastic history of Paris with Roman and medieval archaeology.

Павел С. • May 24, 2015Русскоязычного аудиогида и экскурсий тут нет, так что без знания англ. или франц. языка приходить бессмысленно. Но экспозиция интересная. График работы странный, уточняйте заранее.

Issy M. • January 28, 2013Depending on your interests, if say skip the first few salles of the permenant exhibition. Street art exhibition definitely worth a look!

Y K. • April 27, 2015It is an amazing world class museum. The Velázquez exhibition I watched today was as beautiful as the exterior of the building. Willing to visit again.

Alex Z. • August 8, 2014Great museum. Really appreciated that media boards, explaining the moves of different sides in a couple of battles.

New York Habitat • April 10, 2012Great homage to French architecture. Don’t miss the reproduction of the Chartres Cathedral’s stained-glass window: it’s stunning. This museum also has an amazing panoramic view of Paris!

Alessio B. • December 29, 2010Try the sauces and the grilled meat. Wines are lovely. Beautiful view of Paris!

Leonieke A. • October 14, 2015What did the Romans do for us? Arènes de Lutèce is a hidden gem in between busy streets. Enjoy the wonderful space!

Alex Z. • August 11, 2014This private mansion, easily accessible from the Place des Vosges, built in the 17-th century, is one of the best examples of Louis XIII style. Don't miss it, nor the garden. Access is free.
