Tanya Bond
★★★★★11 months agoI highly recommend visiting Gustave Moreau's house/studio museum, especially so if you are an artist yourself. His studio is so spacious, with his artwork adorning the tall walls, a bit hard to properly see at times though. But what's most amazing is that you have access to his infinite sketches, which are set up in such a way that you can sit down and browse them in a retractable "folder" style set up of which there are many. Fantastic opportunity to get into the head of another artist through these sketches and ideas!

★★★★★a year agoSmall and charming museum built within and above the painter’s home. After visiting some private rooms that are filled with art and artefacts, you proceed to 2 more floors that house an impressive collection of Moreau’s art, with plenty of unfinished works. A couple of masterpieces will invite you for a closer look, and the artist’s symbolism style should make it worth your time. I spent slightly more than one hour and thoroughly enjoyed it.
