Reviews

Nice little museum. Visited here on a whim while walking Paris and avoiding busy spots and tourists (like my American self). 4 floors to see. Interesting history and focus on Salome. 8 euros to get in. Wish the A/C was colder as Paris is hot this week. I'm no artist but I appreciated the paintings.
