My family and I often go to Paris because we have family there and we usually take a day out to sightsee. Next time we go we will have to bear this article in mind and go visit some of the less renowned museums. Meg This is a wonderful post, I love visiting museums.

Maybe you consider it a biggie too but when I was there it was not crowded and visitors had a chance to view the Asian Art collection in a intimate setting. The museum's interior has been beautifully remodelled in a contemporary architectural aesthetic. A lovely space. http://www.guimet.fr/-English- I love the Musée Guimet.

I love the Rodin Museum too - plus it's in such a lovely neighborhood - a visit makes for a really nice afternoon. My favorite (though perhaps it is not "lesser known" now that it has been renovated) is the Orangerie. I skip the main collection and just hang out with Monet's waterlilies for a while. You can book a timed entry through FNAC to avoid waiting in line. Great tips! I love the Rodin Museum too - plus it’s in such a lovely neighborhood - a visit makes for a really nice afternoon.

I saw a fascinating exhibit there. Gustave Moreau Museum is quaint (make sure you know the hours--I think they close from 12-2)and I love the Palais de Tokyo for contemporary exhibits. Here's a listing of museums http://www.parisnotes.com/museums/parismuseums.html I love to buy an Officiel de Spectacle and just look up interesting Museums or exhibits and explore a different quartier.

The Petite Palais is also free and beautiful.
