Find the best Museums In Paris

There’s a reason Beyonce and Jay-Z, and then the cast of Netflix’s Lupin  brought their talents to the Louvre: it’s the most visited—and arguably the most iconic—museum in the world. But they could have taken up residence at a number of the city’s storied art institutions and galleries which showcase centuries of sculpture, painting, illustration, and photography: Stand rapt before Monet’s Water Lilies at L’Orangerie, take in Europe’s leading collection of contemporary art and culture at the Centre Pompidou, or spend the afternoon perusing the rooms of the Pinault Collection at the Bourse de Commerce. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer breadth of visual history here, so read on to find our editors’ picks for the best museums in Paris.
