Gustave Moreau Museum

I went to the museum simply because it was nearby. Nevertheless, the museum surprised me: a beautiful mansion, an incredible staircase, preserved interiors of the office, living room, dining room and bedroom. I didn’t know much about Moreau, but I read during my visit to the museum: an interesting fact is that he did not sell his paintings, so all his significant works are in this museum. I would especially like to note the museum toilet, which is on the 2nd floor and is also a historical room, but available for use. It is always surprising when a toilet in a historical building turns into a strange and ugly mix of modern and historical. Why is it nit possible to maintain the design in a completely historical model? It’s not difficult at all. I really wanted to replace the hand napkins, soap, antiseptic dispenser, trash can and water drain chain with something more authentic 😝😝😝

Went for a visit not knowing what to expect. I knew Moreau is the king of symbolism in France. There are 3 levels to visit : his living places and two floors with a ton of his paintings. Very crowded walls in the rooms ; paintings can be unachieved as well as totally completed. Very often the Greeks are represented: Jupiter, Salome, Hercule, Pasiphae… 200+ paintings It is interesting but I am not fond of. The lights or the blâmées of the paintings are a surprise , sometimes too dark or too bright but he makes his point where he wants us to focus. Interesting museum and definitely worth a visit if the 2nd floor huge room that is really impressive

A pleasant visit. Two floors of art, and hundreds of sketches, and a beautiful staircase. Also included was a small tour of Gustave’s appartment. Not my favorite artist, but if you like Greek mythology and some Christian art, it’s interesting. It takes about one hour to see everything.

Can you appreciate all types of art? If so, then you will love this museum. If you’re more of a classical or modern art fan then you might have an inspired time here as I did. It is different.

Wonderful place that initially wasn't on my sightseeing list. I am so glad I stumbled upon it and decided to head in. Full of amazing pieces, wonderful spaces, a gorgeous staircase, and quiet arty vibes. I loved it.

Fascinating gallery / museum dedicated to the artist Gustave Moreau. It's worth a visit just to see his stunning house and studio. His art is unique in it's style and quite confronting at times. Allow an hour but a decent visit.

We were not allowed in. Unfriendly welcome, almost too lazy to provide an option. The museum has lockers. We were not allowed to put our small luggage in the lockers. However, the size suited it well. Not recommended.

This museum is very eye-catching. We need to buy tickets online before going there. There is also a guidance board about the art in English.
