Musée national des Arts et Traditions polulaires

Founded in 1937 by George Henri Rivière, the Musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires is an ethnological museum located in Paris. Designed as a synthesis of traditional French society, it also defines itself as a museum-laboratory and adding a group of researchers to its curators. Closed in 2005, it saw its collections transferred to the MuCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean civilisations), in Marseille.
