Palais de la Porte Dorée, 293 Av. Daumesnil, 75012 Paris, France
A newly renovated museum with an interesting story. The building is interesting to look around and you can visit the big main room for free. There is a cafe and cloak room. A lot of the actual museum mostly had writing on the walls with some objects and a couple of videos. Because of this I don’t think it’s very interesting for young children. The information on big panels is translated to English and the smaller panels just in french. There’s a music room where you can listen to playlists and relax part way through your visit. The museums follows the history of immigration in France all the way up to the present day. Underneath the museum there is a tropical aquarium. I went on a weekday in summer and it wasn’t busy.
The temporary Olympics exhibition was amazing! It has great history presented in an easy to read format in both English and French. I learned a lot and enjoyed the short trip out here from the 11th arr.
This museum is the best place to know about the immigration history of France. You gain so much how France has changed and evolved and revolutionized over the years and has welcomed every race and ethnicity.
I really liked the museum, i learned a lot. There was a guide that did like an hour explanation tour. He was amazing!!!!! He explained things in a very clear and interesting way. I wish he would have been my history professor.
