The Musée de l’Homme (The Museum of Mankind) was inaugurated in June, 1938 and focuses on the evolution of humans and human societies, combining biological, social and cultural approaches. It is located in the Passy wing of the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, a building originally constructed for the 1937 World’s Fair. It houses collections of prehistory, biological and cultural anthropology, a centre for research, higher education and training, and the dissemination of knowledge on the evolution of humans and human societies, all under the same roof. The museum’s priceless collections include Cro-Magnon fossils while its prehistory and anthropology collections are among the finest in the world and worth a visit in and of themselves. The Musée de l’Homme is part of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle -France’s national natural history museum. See also: https://thegourmetgazette.com/2025/06/02/a-memory-of-migrations/
