Top 8 Specialty Museums in Tour Eiffel / Invalides, Ile-de-France

September 7, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Musee du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac

Located close to the Eiffel Tower, the musée du quai Branly exhibits 3 500 works of art from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. This important collection makes the musée du quai Branly an unmissable place for discovering the art culture of the non-European world. The museum’s original and imposing architecture designed by Jean Nouvel and its wild garden created by the landscaper Gilles Clément combine to make it a pleasant and unique place. The museum is the fourth largest museum in Paris.

Just a block away from the Eiffel Tower, you’ll find the beautiful garden and dreamlike interiors of Musée du Quai Branly. This museum of ethnic art from around the world is a wonderful addition to the other great museums of Paris. Because it’s relatively new, it is also not crowded. You can therefore enjoy the strange, organic flowing spaces and amazing collection in a peaceful, uncrowned environment. The gardens are free and would be a great place to let your kids explore if they aren’t already exhausted from having climbed to the nearby Eiffel Tower. There’s also a comfortable café where are you can rest your feet and quench your thirst. Highly recommended!
