10 Museums in 16th Arr. - Passy That You Shouldn't Miss
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

We visited on a Friday lunchtime. It’s situated in a wing of the Palais de Tokyo and from the light flooded first few interior rooms you have views of the nearby Eiffel Tower, perfectly complimenting the large Robert Delaunays. We saw a Picasso head sculpture, many Dufys, superb Bonnards...including the masterpiece of Marthe in a bath. I was not keen on some of the work in other rooms...but as it’s free and there is so much good work to see you just speed up! Highly recommended.

This unique museum displays the personal collection of 19th-century East Asian art compiled by Émile Guimet.

We always visit the Guimet when in Paris for its great collection of Asian Art. This time we were lucky to be just in time for the temporary exhibition "On the Tokaido Road", an extensive collection of 200 beautiful Japanese prints by Hiroshige and many other artists depicting the myriad scenes and spectacular landscapes on this important coastal road from the Edo period. An amazing collection rarely seen all in one place.

The Palais de Chaillot is an exceptional building. From a distance it looks as if it is ready to fly with those huge wing spans ready to take off! It was built in 1937 for the Universal Exhibition and it is home to several museums and a theatre. There is also a restaurant on site. We first saw it from atop the Eiffel Tower and it was a wonderfully amazing sight.
7. American Center for art and culture
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
The American center for art and culture’s ( formerly Mona Bismarck Foundation) mission is to act as the showcase for 20th and 21st century American art and culture in Paris, and is the only institution of its kind in France. It honors the vision of its American founder, Mona Bismarck, by encouraging intercultural and transatlantic artistic exchanges. Housed in a splendid 19th century private mansion bordering the Seine, the Mona Bismarck American Center seeks to present contemporary American culture in Europe by offering a diverse and multidisciplinary program of exhibitions, events, performances, artist talks, colloquia and artists residencies. The American Center for Art and Culture is Paris’ only non-profit venue entirely dedicated to the presentation of American creation and culture – thereby reinforcing the long-lasting Franco-American relation and emphasizing the United States’ international presence.

Georges Clemenceau was a French statesman and as my husband is very interested in history we decided to visit. After a little trouble finding the entrance we were admitted to the museum. Initially we looked around his apartment with an audio guide and then went upstairs to see a modern exhibition of Clemenceau's life. he had a very interesting life with many famous friends including Claude Very worthwhile visit.

We visited on the first friday of the month were there arz special evening activities (included in ticket).watch during the day for micro visits by a guide lighting a few works on each floor. (No additional charge). Parking along the road in the Bois de Boulogne.
