The Guimet Museum at 6 Place d'Iéna in Paris's 16th arrondissement was founded by Émile Étienne Guimet, a French industrialist and traveler. The article names no architect, style, materials or dimensions. The infobox lists 1879 as established, but the text says the museum first opened in Lyon that year and opened on Place d'Iéna in 1889.

It is a museum of Asian art, and the article gives no other building details. It hosted Kabul Museum collections from December 2006 to April 2007.

In 2024 it faced criticism for replacing Tibet with Himalayan World in its catalogues, and in July 2025 four associations sued to force changes to the labels. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
