The Musée Guimet is taking part in Nuit des Musées 2025, this Saturday, May 17. An opportunity to push open the doors of this museum dedicated to the arts of Asia, and discover the program designed for the occasion.

The Nuit des Musées 2025 is an opportunity for museums and monuments to highlight their collections and showcase their treasures from a whole new angle. And for visitors, it's a chance to have fun and enjoy these magical places, without paying a cent! A real bargain, just as we like it, to be experienced this year on Saturday May 17, 2025.

For this new edition, we're off to visit the Musée Guimet. It houses one of the world's richest collections of Asian art. Magnificently renovated, the museum takes visitors on an initiatory journey to Asia, to discover its thousand-year-old collections from India to Japan, via China and South-East Asia, not forgetting the textile and photographic collections, as well as contemporary art.
