Nathalie RochSeptember 19, 2012One of the most charming museum in Paris. The 18th and 19th century are incredible. Don't forget to explore the Fouquet's shop by Mucha. It's a wonderful Arts & Crafts reproduction.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Wonderful museum with a nice mix of antiques and paintings. Free admission and tucked into a lovely neighborhood. Not to be missed.
StephanieJune 20, 2013The history of Paris as a city! Located in the Marais. Nice way to spend a couple of hours. Free entry to general collection. Not well known=not super busy. Perfect way to take in art with history.
Alex ZhuravlovaAugust 8, 2014Very sweet museum with a lovely garden. A must-visit in the Marais. Little Emperor's bed was impressive.
Tamara HApril 28, 2013Don't miss the room of objects from the prison where the royal family was held before they were decapitated during the revolution. Great wallpaper.
Vangelis MoraitisAugust 4, 2016It's free and as such an excellent option for a stop while walking around Marais
New York HabitatOctober 11, 2011Perfect for history buffs, Musée Carnavalet takes visitors back several centuries for a fascinating experience. See everything from Mari Antoinette’s hair to Napolean’s ceremonial armor.- Adam SigelJune 2, 2015This should be included in the list of must-see museums in Paris. A great history of the revolution, 18th and 19th century Paris (free!), and a rotating exhibition.
Andrij KrochakMarch 7, 2016Great museum with great architecture and a free exhibition on the French Revolution period and beyond.
Felipe IglesiasSeptember 2, 2015A great and old museum. Perfect for history nerds like me. You can find the originals of the Human Rights Declaration!- Julieta Rossi PedrosaJanuary 17, 2013One of my favorite museums. It's free for the permanent collection that goes from the Iron Age till the XIX century.
bulatOctober 8, 2012Check out contents of Proust's bedroom, famously lined in cork for soundproofing. The principal item is the brass bed in which he slept as a child and wrote much of In Search of Lost Time.
EvaDecember 21, 2014It took me a couple of visits to Paris before discovering this museum, but it was absolutely worth a visit.
Tim HettlerMay 24, 2016Rent the five-euro audio guide, head to the third floor and revel in the largest collection of works on the French Revolution.- The best place to learn about the history of Paris through art. A wonderful museum, and the entrance is free, thanks to the City of Paris!
Peter van BragtSeptember 18, 2014Not just for history freaks. Carnavalet offers insight in development of city of Paris. Sadly the guillotine was on temporary loan to some foreign museum.
Adriana FattiniMarch 9, 2013Free access. The history of Paris told through art, furniture, and even games. Definitely worth it.
Ted PowerAugust 17, 2011History of paris — i especially like the section on the revolution. They also have a nice little show up now about fireworks.
David PascualJuly 5, 2012my favorite museum in Paris. it's all about the city's history. plus it's FREE!
Heather KennedyDecember 1, 2009One of the most beautiful courtyard gardens in Paris - sit and look at the stone angel and feel lucky to be alive! Read more
A TAugust 23, 2014Incontournable musée de l'histoire de Paris. Pas d'excuse, l'accès à (la riche et passionnante) exposition permanente est gratuite.
Victoria GoulartSeptember 1, 2016Museu incrivelmente surprendente! Jamais imaginei que fosse tão bonito e que a história de Paris fosse ser tão interessante em um lugar fechado, e não nas ruas. Lembrando que o museu é gratuito sempre
JibéJune 26, 2013Hormis l'histoire de Paris que le musée raconte, il vaut le détour rien que par ses intérieurs magnifiques et ses jardins. Et en plus, il est gratuit !
Katrin SupovaJune 5, 2013Отличный музей с прекрасными интерьерами, и Альфонсом Мухой в придачу.В дополнение ко всему прекрасный маленький сад.Часы работы: вт-вс 10.00–18.00, вход свободный на постоянные экспозиции
Hyomin LeeOctober 11, 2013파리 역사에 대한 흥미있는 전시물들이 꽤 많습니다. 게다가 입장료 무료. 그런데 작품에 영어 설명 전혀 없이 프랑스어로만 씌여 있으니 영어 오디오 가이드(5유로)를 빌리는 게 도움될 듯합니다.
I. W.August 5, 2021Beau musée, très riche. Mais la signalétique est très confuse : on visite vite à contresens en mélangeant les époques… Les pièces dans les vitrines devraient être numérotées. Un goût de pas fini…
Javier AlonsoJune 29, 2022Un impresionante y gigantesco museo sobre la historia de París. Requiere tiempo.
Cookie MonsterOctober 22, 2010加纳瓦雷博物馆，是巴黎历史博物馆，前身是两栋考究的古老府邸。主建筑建于1548年，曾为市政厅。里面以陈列艺术品和画作的形式，展示了巴黎的历史。二楼是贵族府邸房间的展示，每间房间的颜色和装潢各异，让我想起爱伦坡的一篇短篇小说。这里现在还有一个LV展，围绕巴黎历史来阐述，物件以皮箱为主，展到明年一月。
EsraSeptember 10, 2022Paris tarihi müzesi. Giriş ücretsiz, şehrin kuruluşundan bugüne tarihine yolculuk yapabileceğiniz adres 😊
Hakan ErbekNovember 24, 2015Gizli bir hazine yol üstünde kesinlikle görülmeli. Giriş ücreti bulunmuyor içeri girince hayret ediyorsunuz niye ücret almadıklarına
Klara FHNovember 6, 2014Envie de connaître l'histoire de Paris, je vous invite à y aller. Possibilité de le faire de façon ludique avec les enfants !!!
Sugar Kane KowalczykOctober 21, 2014Une valeur sûre des musées parisiens, et le cadre ravissant de l'hôtel particulier de Madame de Sévigné !
