Choosing Which Museums To Visit In Paris

There are so many museums in Paris that choosing is one of the hardest things to do. What you could do however, is to try and see what you or your family or traveling companions will be interested in and then try and figure out the places to go to. This is because even if you are on holiday, there is a plethora of museums in Paris and it is almost impossible to see all of them in a limited time frame.

Let's look at the kinds of museums there are. You have the art museums of course but there are also the science, the military, the children's museums and the learning centers. If you have children along, you must not miss seeing the Musée de la Poupee. Here you will find the most beautiful doll collection – male and female dolls dressed in all the different national costumes. There are certain times of the year when there are special shows put up. This you will be able to ascertain by checking on the Internet.

Of course if you come to Paris and miss out seeing the Louvre, that just will not do. This is probably the greatest museum of art in the world. The art here is from all over the world. Antiques and old world art from places like Rome, Greece, Egypt, the East, the Middle East are exhibited along the many corridors. This is the home of one of the greatest paintings in the world by one of the greatest painters of all time – the Mona Lisa.

The Notre Dame also has crypts of archeology so that too is worth a visit for those who are interested in history and archeology.

There are so many more. There are the military museums, the science museums, the modern art museums, the music museums, the marine museums, the ceramic museums and a host of others. What would be a good idea when there are so many is to buy a pass for all the museums. With them you could visit maybe 50 museums as well as get discounts in certain restaurants and stores.

The best way to get these passes would be to go onto the Internet and buy them there. You have a choice of sites from which you can buy them and you should always look around for the best deal. Very often you end up getting free travel to the museums as well. The passes could be as low as 30 euros. Many of them offer discounts at cinemas and galleries too, besides the eating places so do make sure you get the best deal.
