With over 140 Paris museums, or "musées" (say "meu-zay"), a visitor can hope to see but a few of them. A visit to the Egyptian collection and to Leonardo da Vinci's, "Mona Lisa" in the Louvre or to the Impressionist art in the Musée d'Orsay is almost required. If you don't get to them this trip, you'll just have to come back. There are many museums in Paris, the number and variety of offerings is impressive. Whatever your interests are, you'll likely find a "musée" on the subject here. Do you like things mechanical, that move and creak and get things done? Then, visit the Musée des Arts et Métiers, or the scientific demonstrations and exhibits at the Palais de la Découverte, a great one for kids. If you are interested in the ocean, you will enjoy the Musée de la Marine, in the Palais de Chaillot. Perhaps you are interested in the military, then the Musée de l'Armée could be a highlight of your stay. If you are re-tracing the events of World War II in Europe, the footsteps of a relative or even your own, then the Memorial of the Liberation of Paris will be of great interest to you. There are many Paris Museums dedicated to individual artists. There's Pablo Picasso, Auguste Rodin, Eugene Delacroix and the irrepressible Salvador Dali. There are museums of Natural History, the Middle Ages and the History of Paris.
