For art lovers, Paris is a dream city: the capital is home to some one hundred museums, covering every possible subject: science, fashion, history, the army, perfumery, pharmacy, the Legion of Honor, Asian art, romantic art, museums for toddlers... There really is something for everyone! But while the list is long, it's not infinite.
