About Carnavalet Museum - History of Paris
The Musée Carnavalet traces the entire history of Paris from prehistoric times to the present day across more than 85 chronologically arranged rooms. Housed in two connected Renaissance and 17th-century mansions in the Marais district, the museum displays around 3,800 works from a collection of over 618,000 items. Visitors can walk through fully reconstructed period rooms salvaged from demolished Parisian buildings, including aristocratic salons, the complete Art Nouveau interior of the Fouquet jewelry shop designed by Alphonse Mucha, and Marcel Proust's cork-lined bedroom with his original furniture.

The museum displays a Neolithic dugout canoe dating to approximately 4600 BC, discovered in the Seine basin. This 6,600-year-old vessel predates the Roman conquest of Lutetia by more than 4,000 years, making it one of the oldest objects you can see in any Paris museum.
