Maillol museum parijs
The Musée Maillol is a museum located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France, dedicated to the works of French sculptor and painter Aristide Maillol (1861-1944). The museum is situated in a beautiful 18th-century townhouse and features a collection of Maillol's sculptures, paintings, and drawings.
The museum was founded in 1963 by Dina Vierny, a French art dealer and Maillol's model and muse, who was instrumental in promoting his work during his lifetime. The museum's collection includes over 1,000 works by Maillol, including his famous bronze sculptures of women, as well as his paintings, drawings, and prints.
Some of the highlights of the museum's collection include:
- Maillol's iconic bronze sculptures of women, such as "The Woman at Her Toilette" and "The Bather"
- His paintings, including "The Harvest" and "The Garden"
- His drawings and prints, which showcase his skill as a draftsman and printmaker
- A selection of Maillol's works on paper, including watercolors and gouaches
The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions and events throughout the year, which showcase the work of other artists and provide insight into Maillol's artistic process and influences.
Visitors to the museum can explore the permanent collection, which is divided into several rooms and galleries, each featuring a different aspect of Maillol's work. The museum also offers guided tours and educational programs for children and adults.
The Musée Maillol is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and admission is free for visitors under the age of 18 and for all visitors on the first Sunday of each month.
