The Treasures of Emile Guimet (french version)

Description

Although the name of Émile Guimet (1836-1918) is well known to the people of Lyon, due to the museum of the same name located on Boulevard des Belges, which presented collections of natural history and ethnographic objects brought back from distant countries, who really knows the character?
This book echoes the museum's inaugural exhibition and aims to introduce the intellectual figure of Émile Guimet through the rich collections he acquired and which are now kept at the Musée des Confluences and the Musée des Arts asiatiques in Paris.
