Musée de l'Homme, Anthropology museum in Trocadéro, France
The Musée de l'Homme displays artifacts, fossils, and tools that document human development from prehistoric times to present day in the Palais de Chaillot.
Founded by Paul Rivet in 1937, this museum emerged from the collections of the former Ethnographic Museum of Trocadero, which was established in 1878.
The museum presents physical anthropology, prehistory, and social development through collections that demonstrate the diversity and unity of human populations.
Located in the 16th district of Paris, the museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Monday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, including public holidays.
The institution houses Europe's largest collection of Paleolithic human fossils, including models of important discoveries like the Australopithecus afarensis Lucy.
