Again, taking my new look of doing black and white posts when trying to revise, update, refresh old posts in my blog I bring you back to Paris. I did update this older post with new text and links for you and me, Therefore, here is my take on the other nice museums in Paris !! Hope you enjoy this post as I.

The Paris museum pass will let you see many museum for a one price depending on the days you want. I always said if it is at least 3 ,the pass is worth it. And it goes beyond Paris too. See my post on passes in Paris. I went to look for these muséums that are very good but seldom seen by visitors.

Adolphe and Clémence d’Ennery had built a mansion close to the  Bois de Boulogne to put their collection of Asian arts, more than 6300 objects now on the building done in 1875.  Located at  59 avenue Foch, you need to reserve in advance to get in at resa@guimet.fr. The Musée d’Ennery is hosted by the Musée Guimet. Webpage: https://www.guimet.fr/musee-dennery/histoire-du-musee-dennery/

It is here that the Baron Taylor, a man of giving and culture man of Belgian origins, host the artists in need from 1844.  Completively renovated in 2013, the building of five floors was enlarge offering  250 m2 of exposition space open to the public.  Located at 1, rue La Bruyère , the webpage for the Fondation Taylor: https://www.taylor.fr/

And we go the butte or hill, here in Montmartre you find the Maison du Bel Air from the 17C, a museum to the glory of Montmartre ,and its bohemian life style open in 1960. Later, it was enlarge with the last month atelier of  Valadon-Utrillo, bringing in the mansion or hôtel Demarne where the father Tanguy  sold its colors to the impressionnistes. Its stairs give to small rooms with paintings of  Kupka, Toulouse-Lautrec, Modigliani, Steinlen… etc.  Located at 12, rue Cortot,musée de Montmartre, webpage: https://museedemontmartre.fr/en/

Jean-Paul Favand, the founder of the mondane arts and former antique fleas marketeer has put together a treasure. Musée des Arts Forains, Located at  53, avenue des Terroirs-de-France; webpage : http://arts-forains.com/en

The Musée Gustave Moreau, sits away from the crowds and it is one of the most exquisite museum of Paris. It was done in a building from the end of the 19C by the painter himself.  it is done around a colimaçon stair, with shop and living furniture including almost 400 symbolic paintings  It is located at 14, rue de La Rochefoucauld .webpage: https://en.musee-moreau.fr/

And the Maison du Balzac, where he wrote the  La Comédie humaine. You see his work office partially recontructed and his manuscripts. Located at   47, rue Raynouard, webpage: https://www.maisondebalzac.paris.fr/en

There you go folks, my humble contribution to tell tell of museums of Paris. There are many and you can spent the whole year on them , we love it. Again, hope you enjoy this post on the other nice museums in Paris !! as I.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
