This is the edition of Guimet museum visitor's guide.
Opened in Paris in 1889, the Musée Guimet was greatly expanded in 1945 when it received the collections of Khmer art and architecture from the Musée du Trocadéro, and those of Far Eastern decorative arts from the Louvre.

No longer are they exotic objects or curios, but rather true works of art belonging to the mainstream of world art history.
