Known forworld culturescontemporary architectureimmersiveEiffel Tower proximity
Jean Nouvel's striking building on the Seine banks houses one of the world's great collections of indigenous arts from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. The presentation is atmospheric and immersive rather than dry and academic, with dramatic lighting and thoughtful curation. The rooftop restaurant Les Ombres offers Eiffel Tower views and is worth a separate visit. Some critics debate the ethics of how objects were acquired, which is worth knowing going in.
