In the French capital, there is not only the impressive Louvre Museum , which houses more than 30,000 paintings and makes you forget about other small museums that you should not miss in this beautiful city. Smaller in size and with very curious things, there are about 200 museums "dotted" all over Paris that show us jewels that go from Picasso to Edith Piaf , passing through the curious sewers of the city.
One of the most curious museums is the one known as the Jacquemart-André . Founded by the wealthy Edouard André and his wife, the painter Nélie Jacquemart , the museum exhibits the objects accumulated through their travels to Italy. At the end of the 19th century, they had the best collection of Italian art in France , including works by Donatello, Bottecelli, Tieopolo, and Perugino .
The Égouts de Paris Museum , or the Paris Sewer Museum , will take you through the bowels of the city. You don’t have to be a sewer expert to be fascinated by this network of sewers specially cared for visitors.
The Musée du fumeur . Located in the 11th arrondissement , this tiny museum features antique instruments including 18th-century antiques such as carved wooden smoking pipes, illustrations and posters on smoking bans and the history of tobacco in a gallery of curious images of famous smokers. .
"Le vie en rose" is the museum of the famous singer Edith Piaf . It is made up of two rooms with many of the singer’s possessions, including clothing, jewelry, photos, etc. It has become the most difficult museum to find since it is located on the fourth floor of an apartment without an elevator in a building in the Belleville neighborhood . Admission is free, but visitors have to call to obtain a security code.
