#summervacay On my autumn solo trip to Paris, I discovered that the Marais district isn't just for shopping; it's also home to some beautiful, lesser-known museums, and I've found two fantastic free options that are definitely worth a visit! 1. Musée Carnavalet - Histoire de Paris (Carnavalet Museum - History of Paris) 📜🎨 This museum might seem unassuming from the outside, but wow, it's huge inside! I almost got a little lost exploring it all. The collection is wonderfully diverse, covering the rich history of Paris through various artifacts and exhibits. I heard that in summer, their cafe is super popular, with seating extending into a charming, plant-filled courtyard. It sounds like such an atmospheric place to dine! 2. Maison de Victor Hugo (Victor Hugo's House) ✍️🏡 Another absolute must-see for me was the Maison de Victor Hugo, the former residence of the literary giant himself. It's so conveniently located right next to the beautiful Place des Vosges in the Marais. The old house is exquisitely furnished, and you can really feel the opulent home environment of a wealthy Parisian family from his era. Plus, they have so many portraits of Hugo from different stages of his life, which was a unique glimpse into his personal journey. The café in the backyard also looked lovely. Both of these museums offer a wonderful blend of history, art, and a peek into Parisian life, all without an entry fee. They were perfect for an enriching and budget-friendly exploration of the Marais! #Paris #Marais #FreeMuseums #MuseeCarnavalet #VictorHugoHouse #ParisHistory #ArtAndArchitecture #SoloTravel #ParisTravel #EuropeanTravel #MuseumHopping

#londontrip During my summer vacation in London, I spent an afternoon at Tate Modern, and it was an unforgettable experience! Located along the Thames on the South Bank, entrance to the main collection is free, though some special exhibitions have a fee (usually around £15-£20). The museum’s industrial-chic vibe, housed in a former power station, is as captivating as the art inside. I loved exploring the diverse range of modern and contemporary art, from Picasso to Warhol, and discovering new artists. The views from the top-floor terrace are spectacular, offering a stunning panorama of London’s skyline, including St. Paul’s Cathedral across the river. After the Tate, I strolled along the vibrant South Bank, visited the nearby Globe Theatre, and crossed the Millennium Bridge. Tate Modern is a must-see for art lovers and anyone wanting a dose of culture in London! 🎨🌆 #TateModern #LondonArtScene #SouthBankLondon #ContemporaryArt #SummerInLondon #FreeMuseums #ExploreLondon #ArtLovers #TravelLondon #ModernMasterpieces

#summervacay Not only is the Fukuoka Prefectural Museum free to enter, but the Asian Museum upstairs from the Anpanman Museum (except special exhibitions) is also free! Plus, there’s an elevator inside that goes directly down to the subway B2 station — super convenient and really thoughtful! ☀️🔥 The sun can be scorching, so being able to easily hop between spots is amazing! After strolling through Ohori Park, you can seamlessly connect to the Fukuoka City Museum. This city walk is super efficient and comfortable to enjoy! #DailyLifeMoments #FukuokaMuseums #FreeMuseums #EfficientTravel #FukuokaTrip #CityWalk
