Musée de l'Homme

The Musée de l'Homme occupies the Passy wing of the Palais de Chaillot, a massive neoclassical structure defined by its two curved, independent wings and a wide central esplanade. You can identify this location by the grand, sweeping arc of the building that faces the Eiffel Tower across the Seine. Established in nineteen thirty-seven for the International Exposition, the museum serves as a center for anthropology, dedicated to the study of human evolution and the unity of humankind.
