Published on the occasion of the exhibition Enquêtes vagabondes, Émile Guimet's illustrated journey to Asia at the Guimet Museum, Paris from December 6, 2017 to March 12, 2018.
This book, a catalog of the exhibition "Vagabond Investigations. The Illustrated Journey of Émile Guimet in Asia," evokes, on the occasion of the centenary of his death, Émile Guimet's extraordinary journey to Southeast Asia. From this ten-month journey the Museum of Asian Arts was born.
In 1876, Émile Guimet (1838-1918), the museum's founder, met the painter Félix Régamey (1844-1907) in the United States. The two embarked on a long journey that took them to Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and then India before returning to Europe. Using a selection of paintings, sculptures, porcelain, photographs, drawings, and correspondence, this catalog retraces the two men's journey, "ten months that would illuminate the rest of [their] lives," and shows the birth of the museum's collections.
