About
The Musée de l'Homme tells the story of our species in a 2,500 m² gallery that looks out over the Seine to the Eiffel Tower. Kids come face to face with Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon skulls, a Peruvian mummy and a painted Senegalese bus, listen at a wall of world languages, and try sensory stations along the way.
