Located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in the last apartment and studio of painter Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863), the Musée national Eugène-Delacroix is a unique and captivating museum with a beautiful garden, a unique place in Paris.
The Musée national Eugène-Delacroix offers frequently renewed displays of its collection, accompanied by a rich and varied cultural programme: lectures, concerts, workshops, meetings with artists, etc. A real haven of peace for visitors to the museum, the garden allows visitors to admire the façade of the studio that Delacroix had built and whose décor he chose.
You can find emblematic works of the painter such as Madeleine in the Desert, which inspired Baudelaire, The Education of the Virgin, Romeo and Juliet or the fresco Bacchus and a Tiger. Lesser-known works can also be discovered, such as a study after one of Goya's Caprices, two medieval binding plates and an oriental jacket, so characteristic of the artist's creative work, or a model for the decor of the library of the National Assembly. Sketches and finished paintings, drawings made using different techniques, engravings... allow us to discover the different aspects of the artist's talent and to better understand his creative work. Delacroix's entourage is also evoked through portraits or copies of his major works, such as The Death of Sardanapalus or The Women of Algiers, painted by his friends or admirers such as Fantin-Latour.
It opened its doors to the public in 1932 thanks to the Société des Amis d'Eugène Delacroix, which brought together artists such as Maurice Denis and Paul Signac and transformed this place of memory into a lively, dynamic museum.
Since 2004, the Musée National Eugène-Delacroix has been part of the public establishment of the Louvre Museum
