Fodor's Expert Review Musée Barbier-Mueller
Rive Gauche (Left Bank)
Art Museum
Josef Mueller began acquiring fine primitive era art from Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Americas in 1907. Today his family's vast, inspired collection of sculpture, masks, shields, textiles, and ornaments spans six continents and seven millennia. A small selection is on view at any given time, displayed like jewels in warm, spotlighted vaults of scrubbed stone.
