MUSEE GUIMET

In Paris, near the Trocadero place, lies the largest museum of Khmer Arts outside of Cambodia.The Musée Guimet was the brain-child of Emile Guimet (1836-1918), a Lyons industrialist who opened a grand museum devoted to the religions of Ancient Egypt, Classical Antiquity, and Asia. In 1927, the Musée Guimet came under the administrative control of the French Museums Directorate and obtained large collections of objects that had been brought back by major expeditions to Asia and China such as the ones from Louis Delaporte in Siam and Cambodia which provided an invaluable collection of Khmer art (originally forming the nucleus of the Paris Musée Indochinois at the Trocadéro, founded in 1882). The vast museum renovation program recently completed has given priority to natural lighting and to the creation of open perspectives within the 5500m2 of permanent gallery space. This new, pleasantly open and serene layout makes it easier for visitors to grasp the inter-relationships and differences between the various artistic traditions of Asia.
