While living in Paris for a year, this became one of my favorite museums in the city. A beautiful permanent collection of works by Aristide Maillol (you can see other sculptures of his in the gardens outside of the Louvre!) and others, and consistently the best temporary exhibits I've ever seen. If you are in Paris for only a day or two and feel overwhelmed by the huge museums, skip the crowds and come here.

After you've seen the 'musts,' this is one to seek out. It's small scale, accessible and in a wonderful neighborhood. The exterior of the building is worth a trip in itself. The Magritte exhibition was an unexpected bonus.
