"Built in 1900 in the beaux arts style, this museum was architect Charles Girault’s ode to the creativity of the early 20th century. Its mural-decorated lobbies, galleries and ornate cupolas now house a permanent collection of art, spanning sculptures from ancient Greece to photography of the 19th century. You’ll find paintings and sculptures by Pissarro, Cézanne, Rodin and Delacroix overseen by a series of busts of Parisian art luminaries set into the walls. And unlike many of the city’s other art institutions, you won’t have to battle it out with crowds of tourists to get a look at them."
