Indagare Tracker: Small Museums Text Size A A A

The first time I visited Paris, I skipped the Louvre. Not because I wasn’t intrigued by the treasures displayed in the more than ten miles of galleries, but because I worried that my three-day trip would not allow enough time to experience the collections. Massive cultural institutions can present a daunting undertaking for a visitor pressed for time. The good news is that art-filled cities also have a wealth of smaller museums whose exhibits can offer amazingly in-depth exploration of specific art periods, genres or artists. The next time you’re in one of the following cities with only a few hours to dedicate to the arts, check out these well-curated gems.

  • In Paris: The former private home of one of France’s most celebrated sculptors, where poet and writer Rainer Maria Rilke lived for some years as well.
  • In Vienna: The museum to see Wiener Werkstätte, Art Nouveau and Biedermeier in truly creative displays at this
  • In Los Angeles: An often-overlooked gem with collections of Asian, European and American art, including tons of Degas paintings and sculptures.
