Paris's love affair with fashion lives on in this museum near the Louvre that houses a vast retrospective on costumes, style and dress design since the 18th century. With over 80,000 items, only a fraction of the collection can be exhibited at any one time; as a result, exhibits are changed annually and the museum kicks off each year with a different theme. Although special homage is paid to Parisian legends YSL, Chanel and Dior, young designers' work also features in temporary exhibitions. Admission: EUR5.40 adults; EUR3.90 reduced; free for those under 18.
