Buddhism and Surrealism in Paris in the 1920s

How do I found out about books, museums, exhibitions, and artifacts relating to Buddhism in Paris in the 1920s?
I'm writing a dissertation that involves Buddhism and Surrealism. I am trying to find archives, libraries, books, museums, etc., that have information about the influence of Buddhism and Tibet in Paris between 1900 and 1945, most importantly during the peak of Surrealism, about 1924 to 1939. Who can I contact in Paris who might be able to help me? What public institutions would have archives that would show what exhibitions happened in these years and what artifacts were in them?

If you haven't already, I strongly suggest speaking with a reference librarian at your own library - they may be able to direct you to bibliographies, databases (such as ArchivesUSA) and other tools close at hand that will be helpful.
