However, far from being confined to this prestigious location, Asian art was also present in five districts of the capital through galleries where the exhibited works competed with each other. These tours were also accompanied by meetings and conferences in museums such as the Louvre, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the Musée des Arts Asiatiques de Nice, the Musée Guimet and, of course, the Musée des Arts Asiatiques de la Ville de Paris, the Musée Cernuschi. The Friends of this museum were thus able to benefit from a privileged visit during which each of the stands was explained to them. They were also able to take part, in the auditorium of their museum, in two study days devoted to "The Art of Tea in East Asia", which were organized and led by eminent curators and academics, gallery owners and a ceramist who presented, in turn, all the aspects to which this art gave rise in the countries concerned as well as its transmission in Europe.
