Paris' Newest Museum

Looking for something new in Paris? Try the Musée du Quai Branly. The museum is a vast showcase of non-European cultures devoted to "bridging the gap" between civilizations. Some 3,500 items are permanently on display from masks, to statues, to costumes and more. The museum was designed by Jean Nouvel and features a huge space divided into four zones to represent four continents with a central path or “river” for visitors to wander through.

A Giant Clockwork

Behind this stunning clockwork in the Musée d'Orsay, you can sit and enjoy a cup of espresso in a cafe. After the caffeine refuel, browse some of the most famous paintings of the 19th century by Van Gogh, Renoir, Manet, Cezanne, Monet, Picasso and Degas.

Near the exit is another giant clockwork where you can see Paris through the glass of the face.

Les Invalides de Nuit

In Paris' 7th arrondissement sits the beautiful, historic building Les Invalides. It was built in 1674 to shelter wounded and veteran soldiers, and in 1676, a chapel was added (as seen in the dome at the center). Today the building still acts as a hospital and museum where visitors can view Napoleon's tomb.
