Musée du Cinema - Henri Langlois


This one of the places you should vist in Paris if you are a film buff like myself.

Created in 1972, the museum presents "the living history of moving pictures, from their origins to the present day and in all countries". Posters, photographs, manuscripts, costumes and cameras presented in a scenery recreating the magic of the film studios. So if seeing the Mona Lisa isn't your cup of tea, you might be interested in seeing the maniquin used as the dead mother in "Psycho".
Note:
Now maybe someone out there can tell us if it is still in existance, because one article I read says it was destroyed by a fire in 1997, but I came across websites that list it & the times it is open.

  1. I didn't find any info on the Musée du cinéma, it might be what's now called the cinémathèque:
