A walk through history: The ten most important museums in Paris y London
PARIS PILGRIMAGE
The Louvre museum
Probably the most important art museum in the world. In it you will find masterpieces of the history of art prior to the XNUMXth century. Touring this gigantic Parisian museum can take up an entire day and is a perfect alternative for a rainy day, if we have accommodation in Paris
The Orsay museum
To complete the journey through the history of art, this old train station offers us the chance to enjoy works of art from the movements that revolutionized Western painting, such as Impressionism and Pointillism.
The Pompidou center
This center, already a work of contemporary art, brings us closer to the most avant-garde artistic expressions of the XNUMXth century.
Invalids
This complex of historical buildings concentrates several museums, but we can highlight, apart from the Napoleon Bonaparte mausoleum, the French military history museum, where you can admire impressive military objects, such as the collection of armor, which the knights used in medieval wars.
The Orangerie Museum
This museum is a reflection of Paris as a cultural capital in the late XNUMXth and early XNUMXth centuries and offers visitors the admiration of works by painters who settled in Paris, such as Cezanne, Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, Monet and many more.
LONDON
The British Museum
This museum is the fruit of the English collector spirit coupled with the power and spread of the British Empire. It presents objects from remote places and times. From the rosseta stoneKey in the decipherment of hieroglyphic writing, even original parts of the Parthenon in Athens, in the British museum we can admire objects of extraordinary diversity.
The natural history museum
This museum is one of the children's favorites, thanks to the entertaining way it brings natural history closer to its visitors. This museum offers visitors the opportunity to touch and learn in the first person. Dinosaur skeletons are the stars of a collection, which goes much further.
The Victoria and Albert museum
Located next to the natural history museum, is the Albert and Victoria museum, the largest museum of decorative arts in the world. Throughout its 11 kilometers of rooms, you can admire useful objects from times from the far away imperial China to contemporary designs by Frank Lloyd Wright, probably the most prominent American architect.
The Imperial War Museum
This museum brings us closer to the military history of England, and as is the case in the national history museum, it immerses us fully in it. Apart from tanks, airplanes and other military objects, it is worth highlighting the reproductions that are given of the trenches of the First and Second World War.
The design museum
This museum is the first in the world to dedicate itself to the design of the XNUMXth and XNUMXst centuries, having in its collection classic works of contemporary design, fashion, creative technology and architecture.
All of these museums are located in central London, as are the vast majority of the London hotels, so with a zone 1 metro card you can move from one to another with great ease. You can find here more information about the london public transport.
