Musée national des Arts et Traditions Populaires, National museum in Bois de Boulogne, Paris, France
The museum occupied a modern building designed by Jean Dubuisson near the Jardin d'Acclimatation, featuring exhibition spaces and research facilities.
Founded in 1937 by Georges-Henri Rivière, the institution started as the French section of the Trocadéro's Musée de l'Homme before moving to its own premises in 1969.
The collections documented French rural life through furniture, agricultural tools, costumes, photographs, and industrial objects from the 19th century until the 1960s.
The museum closed its doors in 2005, and its entire collection transferred to the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations in Marseille.
The building undergoes renovation under architect Frank Gehry's direction, collaborating with Thomas Dubuisson, grandson of the original architect.
