This was the first stop of our Museum day in Paris. It was actually the home of Gustave Moreau and the top 2 floors were just huge rooms with many of his works displayed around it. The bottom 2 floors were the living quarters of his home. Interesting, but everything was in french and there were no interpreters or anything written in English to explain anything about what you were seeing of him and his life (on the top floors with his works there was something in English as well as other languages for one to refer to.

I like Gustave Moreau's paintings, and I love the little museum/galleries you get in Paris devoted to one artist, but this one didn't appeal to me so much. Of course the more famous works are in the bigger galleries, but most of what is here seemed to be preparatory studies. I think if you were a student this would be a fantastic resource, as they seemed to have loads of his drawings in various cabinets as well. It's a little out of the main tourist areas but with google maps you should be able to find it without too much difficulty.

I had not heard of this painter before, neither was I aware he was a big inspiration to the early surrealists e.g. Dali & Breton. One of his unfinished works seemed to me to have great similarities to Mark Rothko's style as well. Some might find his paintings a little garish & over similar but this is in part to the vast number on display in what was his family house. This is an attraction that is well away from the normal Paris tourist routes but well worth a couple of hours of your time if you have any interest in art.

An amazing museum showcasing the works of artist Gustave Moreau in his own home. The three floor house is jam packed floor to ceiling with his painted works and opening cabinets featuring his hand sketched works of botanical, anatomical and landscapes.

Charming museum in private house celebrating the creative sketches and artistic, colourful works of Gustave Moureau. We visit every time we're in Paris. The spectacular wooden staircase appeals too. A must visit and easy to do on your walk down from Montmartre.

A small, unassuming museum in an old house. I think the entrance fee is probably slightly overpriced at €7 but not by much. The first floor apartments are very small and not hugely interesting but the second and third floors are incredible. They open out into large spaces full of paintings and a beautiful old staircase. There isn't much interpretation offered but the paintings are all biblical or based on Greek and Roman mythology so you can look up what they're based on quite easily.

While my family were visiting us in Paris, we brought them to this museum as we had heard it was beautiful. I was shocked by how grouchy the staff were. They didn't welcome us on arrival, beyond demanding to search our bags, and didn't tell us anything about the artist or the museum's history. The main rooms (the appartements) were closed without any explanation, but the other rooms looked interesting enough. While we tried to enjoy the art, one of the attendants just sat there snapping at people - "videos interdites!" etc. It really made enjoyment impossible and I left without looking at much of the art.

Wonderfully intimate museum celebrating the magical art of Gustave Moreau! If you enjoy his work, you simply must visit! If you don't know his work yet, this is the best place to get acquainted!
The museum is his own villa, where he lived and worked in the second half of the nineteenth century.
It still very much breathes that age, and his love for mythological beauty, and you can visit his domestic rooms, as well as the two big ateliers. The whole villa is crammed with Moreau's paintings, watercolours and drawings! A feast for the senses!

Gustave Moreau was a symbolist. I found his paintings fascinating and his drawings shows what a master he was.
A visit takes you through his living quarters and then up into his studio.
We bought a joint ticket which included the Jean- Jacques Henner museum - a very different painter.

I would go to Paris just to visit this museum. Most of the pieces are so intricate and I can stare at 1 for hours. This place just gives me so much joy...
