From the start of explorations for the “New World” or South Pacific Islands, mariners brought many “souvenirs” from their trip. Europeans are passionate for this far away civilisations and the wealthier get their own cabinet of curiosities. That was how a first temporary ethnographic Museum gathering many private collections opened its doors in Paris in 1878.
In 1938 the Museum of Man took over and settled in the Palais de Chaillot so as to trace the story of human-being.
After having been completely redesigned the new Museum of Man has been inaugurated in 2015 and proposed permanent collections as well as many temporary expositions.
To visit this place all quietly we suggest you to opt for a hotel near to the Museum of Man and to book a Helzear flat or a room.
