the Society of Friends of the Cernuschi Museum

Founded in 1922 and recognized of public interest since 1986,
The Society of Friends of the Cernuschi Museum aims to enrich the collections of the Cernuschi Museum, Museum of Asian Arts of the City of Paris, by actively seeking patronage and promoting knowledge of Asian arts and cultures through the organization of monthly conferences and exhibition tours.

From the beginning of the twentieth century, the Society of Friends of the Cernuschi Museum contributed to the rediscovery of ancient Asia through major acquisitions in the field of Chinese archeology. At the same time, the museum and the Society of Friends play a pioneering role for Asian artists active in Paris, and bring into the permanent collections modern and contemporary works from China, Japan, Vietnam and Korea.
