The Musée de l'Homme is an ethnographic museum in Paris located on the Place du Trocadéro, a few steps from the Eiffel Tower. It is part of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. It is one of the most important ethnographic museums in the world and was created in 1937 by the French ethnologist Paul Rivet to replace the old Trocadéro ethnographic museum, to which he is heir. Inside there are extraordinary collections of prehistory, biological and cultural anthropology, which document the origin of the existence of man on Earth and illustrate the various stages of the development of human society: the museum tries to question and give answers to three fundamental questions: “Who are we? Where do we come from? Where do we go?". In particular, it focuses on the evolutionary chain, with reference to prehistory, biological anthropology and ethnology, a combination that makes the Musée de l'Homme a certainly unique attraction of its kind, which every year attracts tourists from all over the world. It is at the same time a center for scientific research, teaching and training. From its foundation, it quickly became an important research center and numerous scientists established their laboratories there, including the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, the ethnologist Marcel Griaule and the ethnologist Germaine Tillion. The Musée de l'Homme is housed in the Palais de Chaillot on the Place du Trocadéro, a few steps from the Eiffel Tower. Built in place of the old Palais du Trocadéro for the Universal Exhibition of 1937, the palace consists of two neoclassical wings separated by the famous terrace leading to the Jardins du Trocadéro, from which you can enjoy the view of the Eiffel Tower. The two wings of the palace are decorated with quotes from the French poet Paul Valéry and from sculptural groups by Raymond Delamarre, Carlo Sarrabezolles and Alfred Bottiau.
