Essential Museums of Paris

Parisian museums, as not often seen in other cities around the world, bring out the shine in ail artistic disciplines; architecture, painting, sculpture, but also litterature and science. In some we seem to be celebrating a cult; they deserve to be called chapels. Others harbour monumental collections, or are simply devoted to a theme, a passion. They allow us to discover our history, to project ourselves into the future, question our knowledge, our taste. In Essential Museums of Paris, Catherine Grive and Sylvain Sonnet take on a captivating ride through these spaces that are outside time, finely written and marvelously illustrated. An invitation to dream and escape, in those places of memory, beauty and knowledge.
