Showing how very life like the work is. This is France so many of the figures are French but you recognize most. Very neat. Follow the crowd from room to room, era to era, genre to genre. I saw the kids enjoy it and insisting on getting their selfies done with a favorite athlete or other. Worth it to us. Especially on a rainy afternoon.

There was a temporary exhibit on the history of sneakers, which was interesting. We liked the early human exhibits in the second half of the way through. The cafe was nice and as others have mentioned there is a nice view of Eiffel Tower there. Be aware they have shorter hours than other museums in Paris and you'll spend probably 1- 2 hours here.

Such a great find!…read more The museum is small and free. It is dedicated to the ancient arts of Asia, including China, Japan, Vietnam, and Korea. The museum is adjacent to the beautiful Parc Monceau. The first floor hosts the giant bronze statue of Buddha, which is very impressive!

Some models of the city, showing current and planned development. Also an interactive "Google Earth" display, which is pretty cool. I learned a bit (not much English here,) but had hoped for more background info on how the city developed. It seemed pretty shallow. Still, a cool place, and free, so worth a half hour or so of your time.

This little Museum about the development of the city of Paris over the centuries has at least the…read morevalue for money aspect going for it: It´s for free. On the ground floor there is a permanent exposition about said growth and development of Paris, and upstairs there is a changing exposition. Currently (still until September 2015) there is a exposition about the town of Cergy-Pontoise and it´s development under Frances "Politique des villes nouvelles" in the 70ies. I did not care much about that one to be honest, but the downstairs exposition is very interesting. That is if you are into that sort of stuff (which I am). There are maps, some videos and lots of texts and pictures. There is supposed to be some sort of interactive display, but it was either broken or not turned on when I was there. I´m not sure whether to recommend this Museum to Tourists, but for people like me who have moved to Paris, this is definitely worth checking out.

The Fondation Cartier is a little remote from the rest of Paris but it's such a quiet and perfect building to display art...it's far from old boring traditional way of shows , the curators always do a fabulous job... Anyone can go and appreciate art and learn about artists, kids , adults.. The gift shop could have a bit more stuff but it's not the end of the world... Funny enough, I love the Brooklyn museum in NY and they organize similar exhibitions...
