The Musée Cernuschi is getting a makeover, reopening its doors on March 4, 2020. With spring just around the corner, we're off to the heart of Asian art.
The Musée Cernuschi is the museum of Asian arts in Paris, tracing the history of the Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese peoples since Neolithic times. The collection includes works acquired by the city, including 5,000 bequeathed by Henri Cernuschi in the 19th century. The museum's centerpiece is a large bronze Buddha, which dominates the immense, high-ceilinged hall housing the permanent collections.
