. . . . "The Carnavalet Museum in Paris is dedicated to the history of the city. The museum occupies two neighboring mansions: the H\u00F4tel Carnavalet and the former H\u00F4tel Le Peletier de Saint Fargeau. On the advice of Baron Haussmann, the civil servant who transformed Paris in the latter half of the 19th century, the H\u00F4tel Carnavalet was purchased by the Municipal Council of Paris in 1866; it was opened to the public in 1880. By the latter part of the 20th century, the museum was bursting at the seams."@en . "580,000 objects" . . . "1091105"^^ . "Mus\u00E9e Carnavalet"@en . . .
