Visit the best museums in Paris to learn about the city's rich culture and history
Paris is full of fantastic museums to discover and learn more about the city. From weird and wonderful science, to brands and advertising, art and waxworks, there really is something for everyone. Discover parts of Paris you never knew you could, like an underground tour of the sewers, or treat yourself to something sweet with the history of chocolate making.
One of the most popular museums in Paris is the Grevin Wax Museum. It’s the Madame Tussauds of Paris – but better – and you can see some of your favourite Hollywood actors and popstars from George Clooney to Celine Dion, among 300 others. See the Hall of Mirrors, in the optical lights, and learn about the painstaking process the waxwork team go through to make just one model. It’s one of the best places for a selfie, too!
The Paris Story is a great way to get the family involved with the history of Paris through 3D experiences, interactive exhibitions and panoramic screens, bringing to life the fascinating history of this wonderful city. See videos of the River Seine, Monuments of Paris and Paris by Night to discover the authentic ‘Paris story’.
One of the most unusual Paris museums is the Museum of the Sewers of Paris which takes you on a tour under the streets, through the maze of tunnels that make up this historic – and famous! – sewage system. Did you know there are over 2,100kms of tunnels underground? Find out more weird and wonderful facts at the Musée des Égouts de Paris!
There are many other great museums in Paris; such as the Museum of Advertising which was the world’s first museum dedicated to the world of advertising. It explores some of the finest examples of film, print, television and radio advertising and will have any creative buzzing with inspiration. Similarly, the Museum of Arts and Invention is a great one to take curious kids to, to get them learning about the power of invention and the history of scientific instruments. Some of the amazing exhibits on show include airplanes, vintage cars, Pascal’s calculator and Foucault’s pendulum.
