The Musée Cernuschi, also known as the Asian Arts Museum of the City of Paris, is a renowned Asian art museum located near Parc Monceau in Paris, France. It boasts the second largest Asian art collection in Paris, surpassed only by the Musée Guimet. The museum was founded in 1898 by Henri Cernuschi in his former mansion and is considered the second-oldest Asian art museum in France and the fifth-oldest Chinese art museum in Europe.
