The history of the Guimet Museum in Paris began in 1889 when French collector Émile Guimet, interested in the cultures of other peoples, founded the museum based on his collection of Eastern exhibits.

Émile Guimet established the Guimet Museum in 1879 in Lyon and moved the museum to Paris in 1889.

The Guimet Museum has the largest collection of works by Asian authors, particularly from China, Japan, India, and Korea, located outside the territory of Asia.
