With over 60,000 objects including sculpture, porcelain, woodblock print, painting, textiles, furniture, precious jewelry and 500,000 photographic media, the musée Guimet brings to light Asia from Afghanistan to Japan, India, China, Korea and South-East Asia, from the Neolithic period to the present day.
