Musée Dapper

Musée Dapper (35 bis, rue Paul Valéry, Paris) — since France once colonized most of West and Central Africa, it would be expected to find a museums that specializes in art (and artifacts) from that part of the world. Opened in 1986, the Musée Dapper has been helping to bring the African arts to a wider audience by mounting numerous exhibitions, each rigorously researched and expertly installed. As a result, it has become one of the best places in Paris to see African sculpture at its finest. Admission: €6 (general), €4 (reduced — students, senior citizens, unemployed, teachers, and large family cardholders). Free admission every last Wednesday of the month. Hours : Open daily from 11 am to 7 pm. Closed on Tuesdays & Thursdays.
