Paris is home to the world’s most recognisable smile (well, smirk), but there’s much more to the City of Light’s museum offering than Mona Lisa’s grin. And sure, you have to explore the Louvre’s sprawling collection at least once, but that shouldn’t mean missing out on the rest of the great museums on offer.
Whether it’s contemporary art, fashion, architecture or temples to some of the world’s biggest names, there’s a museum for visual art in all its forms here. So grab your camera – and a sketchpad should you feel inspired – and head down to one of the very best museums in Paris according to us.
