The musée Cernuschi
In 1896, the wealthy French banker Henri Cernuschi made a bequest to the city of Paris of his mansion on the edge of the Parc Monceau with his collection of Oriental art he had acquired during his travels.
In this mansion, by the architect William Bouwens der Boijen (1834-1907), a large central room was designed to give pride of place to the most impressive piece in the collection, the Amida Buddha. Henri d'Ardenne Tizac ( 1877-1932), who was curator from 1905 to 1932, transformed a traveller’s house into a modern heritage institution with strong links to the academic world and supported, after 1922, by an active society of friends. He turned it into a museum specialising in the art and archaeology of ancient China, from earliest times to the 13th century. Successive directors have maintained this bias, while continuing to show strong interest in other far Eastern cultures (for example, Japan and Vietnam). The museum, which was completely renovated in 2005, now possesses a remarkable collection of Asian art, regularly enhanced by acquisitions and donations, and it also houses one of the largest collections of Chinese art in Europe.
