Discover a new side of Paris, hidden in plain sight, with this beautifully illustrated guide to the city's smaller collections and best-kept secrets, from artists' studios to scientific museums. A visit to Paris can often seem like a highlight reel -- the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower. But Paris isn't only about the big attractions; in fact, some might say it's the offbeat destinations that hold the greatest treasures. The Little(r) Museums of Paris takes a whimsical journey through these smaller destinations, from the fantastical to the bizarre, offering both a guide to the city and inspiration for armchair travelers. Rather than traveling by neighborhood, this charming guide explores the different types of institutions nestled within Paris, from time capsules like the Musee Nissim de Camondo to explorations of the world beyond the city limits, including the Institute of the Arab World. Readers will peek behind the curtains of artists' apartments and into the microscopes of collections of scientific oddities. Each entry opens up a new world of adventure, with a description of the museum's collection, as well as a short history, watercolor illustrations, and a miniature map. For residents and visitors alike, the captivating illustrations and deeply-researched yet approachable writing will encourage greater appreciation of the cultural diversity, history, and colorful characters that give Paris that je ne sais quoi.

The Little(r) Museums of Paris: An Illustrated Guide to the City's Hidden Gems makes a great companion to Museums and Galleries of London, an Insight Guide edited by Brian Bell and Clare Peel. On your first trip to London you do all the well-known museums, the British, the V&A, the Natural History, the Science Musuem & the British Library, and then what do you do after that? On subsequent trips, you work through the wonderful places to go to, that you find in this guide. My edition is 2002, (ISBN 9789812347466) but we've been using this book to plan our 4-5 days in London that start nearly all our European journeys, and there are still some museums that we haven't ticked off yet.
Well, The Little(r) Museums of Paris is in the same vein. There's not quite as much information about the museums, but I like the way the museums are grouped in categories
