The Musée Guimet –

6, Place d’Iéna

Founded by Émile Guimet, an industrialist from Lyon fascinated by Asia and religions, the Musée Guimet holds the national collections of Asian arts on five levels of galleries and a large glass-roofed courtyard. Renovated in the early 2000s, the Musée Guimet offers a variety of unique spaces adapted to your different formats of events.

Explore our conference and reception spaces to help you plan and imagine your event at the Musée Guimet.

The 3D model does not replace an in-person visit, which remains key for a successful event.

Ground floor and Khmer courtyard

After going through the entrance hall rotunda, your guests will be filled with wonder before the immense sculpture representing the “Giant’s Causeway”, before discovering the Tower of faces  and some of the most beautiful Khmer works in the world. The ground floor can welcome up to 150 guests for your breakfasts and dinner-cocktail parties every day, and for your luncheon cocktails on Tuesdays.

Offer your guests a memorable moment in the midst of ancient works of the Khmer court with a seated dinner or a lecture up to 100 guests. Seated lunches can be held on Tuesdays.

Auditorium

Offering 276 seats and equipped with a complete 4K audio-visual system, the Jean-François Jarrige auditorium is ideal for lectures, round tables, plenary meetings, projections, performances, prize-awards…

The auditorium can be rented during the day or in the evening. Your event in the auditorium can be accompanied by a luncheon cocktail or a seated lunch on Tuesdays, and preceded by a breakfast or followed by a cocktail-buffet or a seated dinner every day.

The auditorium entrance hall, located on the garden floor, is also a reception space that can be combined with the ground floor for receptions of up to 300 guests.

Historic library

Under the caryatides’ benevolent gaze, the historic library immerses your guests in 1889, in Émile Guimet’s day. Cornerstone of the institution, its neo-classic rotunda is one of the last remnants of the original museum.

Mezzanines

Located on the first and second floors of the museum, the mezzanines can host up to 100  guests for a cocktail party, or to complete other spaces for over 150 guests. The first-floor mezzanine overlooks the magnificent Khmer courtyard and provides direct access to the historic library. It is an ideal meeting space for a cocktail party at the intersection of the Silk Road collections.

A privileged viewpoint to seize the essence of the building’s contemporary architecture, the second-floor mezzanine leads to the upper level of the library that hosts temporary exhibitions, as well as the permanent collections rooms devoted to classical China, Korea, and Japan. It also leads directly to the first level of the terrace for cocktail parties combining indoors and outdoors in fine weather.

Terrace with view on the Eiffel Tower and the domes of Paris

Experience an exceptional evening on Musée Guimet’s panoramic rooftop! 

Invisible from the street, the roof-terrace calls to mind a ship’s bridge. Recently renovated and planted, the rooftop can host on three levels up to 200 guests for a dinner-cocktail party or a breakfast with a view onto the Eiffel Tower, every day of the week, and a luncheon-cocktail party on Tuesdays. Seated dinners currently studied.
