The Guimet - Guide to the Collections of the National Museum of Asian Arts

A guide to the Musée Guimetin Paris. The successful industrialist Emile Guimet's travels in Japan, India and China enabled him to assemble an important collection (clothing, porcelain, paintings, statuary, etc.), which is now housed in this museum, inaugurated in 1889. 

In a practical, richly illustrated format, the guide follows the visitor's journey from India to China, from Afghanistan to Japan, from the Neolithic period to the 19th century. It offers a vast panorama of Asian art in all its richness and diversity, providing opportunities for meditative, aesthetic and exploratory journeys to the heart of Asia.
