	Antique Oriental Art Work-Surf Biarritz-Museum France-India-Period Art:Museeasiatica.Com
		Here, in Biarritz, Musée Asiatica would fill a vacuum because it not only presents unique works of art, but the visitor is invited to sit in their shade and to consult the information cards on all these countries, the periods and the works of art that characterize them.
		Musée Asiatica is thus a different kind of museum, the only one of its kind, in fact, where the visitor may spend hours in enriching himself.
		Musée Asiatica thus transports you to the distant regions to know their culture, their religions, their masterpieces, their craftsmanship, and if the visitor so desires, at every stage, their history, their styles of painting and sculpture.

	MW2002: Papers: Representing Asia: Building a Web Site for the Musée Guimet, Paris
		Emile Guimet was born in 1836, son of a prominent industrialist from Lyon, and himself a successful manufacturer.
		The collections of objects which Guimet had amassed illustrating the world's various religions were laid out along iconographic and thematic lines; in addition, a collection of Japanese and Chinese ceramics were presented as examples of craftsmanship and industry.
		Building an audience for the museum was also of crucial importance: the Guimet was, in the years prior to closing, not well-attended, and was very much in the shadow of its bigger sisters, the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and the Centre Pompidou.

		Any past visitor will remember the unthinkable labyrinth the Musée Guimet used to be before the remodeling: a dizzying muddle with works piled on top of each other.
		At the forefront of a vast industrial empire, Guimet was known for his humanist spirit, which propelled his personal research and fueled his desire to promote Eastern studies with the creation of a religion museum.
		Guimet died in 1920, and throughout the 1930s Joseph Hackin completely reorganized the museum, which developed the most comprehensive collection of art from India and Southeast Asia.

	» Blog Archive » Musée Marmottan - Japanese exhibit & Monet paintings
		So a few days ago, prompted by a sudden need to be around art, I flitted off to the Musée Marmottan in search of some aesthetic inspiration the likes of which these dismal walls of my little rat-hole hovel don’t quite seem to provide.
		The Musée Marmottan is tucked quietly away on a narrow street behind a small neighborhood park in the 16ème. Unpretentious and slightly hidden, it’s a charming little gem that seems to have escaped the exegetical talons of most tourists’ guidebooks.
		As a pleasant and totally unexpected surprise, the Musée Marmottan is holding an exhibit on Japanese artworks by renowned masters such as Utagawa Hiroshige, Kitagawa Utamaro, and Katsushika Hokusai.

	AREVA - Living better through advanced technology

	A New Light on Asia \| Departures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In 1889, Emile Guimet, a Lyon industrialist, brought his collection of religious and ethnographic art to a new museum that he had just built in Paris, across the Seine from a more provocative edifice debuting the same year—the Eiffel Tower.
		During Emile Guimet's lifetime, the museum was already attracting important gifts from French archeological digs in Asia; these donations accelerated after Guimet died in 1918 and bequeathed his museum to the nation.
		Following the renovation, the Musée Guimet once again has a coherent story to tell—not of comparative religious iconography, as in its founder's day, but the story of how two great cultures, India and China, spread their influence across the continent of Asia.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Culture \| An Afghan palimpsest in Paris
		Co-organised by the Musée Guimet and the La Caixa Foundation in Barcelona, the exhibition brings together some 250 pieces from the various civilisations, Graeco-Buddhist to Islamic, that have been based in the country, lent by institutions in Germany, the Russian Federation and the US.
		However, by far the largest proportion comes from the Musée Guimet's own holdings of Afghan and South-West Asian art, testifying to the role played by French archaeologists in Afghanistan since the signing, in 1922, of an agreement giving them privileged access to the country's historical sites.
		As Jean-François Jarrige, Director of the Musée Guimet, explains in his Preface to the exhibition catalogue, the exhibition was conceived as a result of the shock felt following the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas by the Taliban and of news of the destruction and dispersal of counterpart holdings of Afghan art in the Kabul Museum.
