Paul Rivet founded the Musée de l’Homme in 1937. The museum was created out of the earlier Musée d’Ethnographie du Trocadéro, which he had attached to the National Museum of Natural History in 1928. While he was stripped of his position at the museum by the Vichy government in 1940, he returned to his work in Paris in 1945.
