The Musée de Montmartre

Musée de Montmartre — it's a true gem for anyone enchanted by the bohemian spirit of old Paris. Nestled in the heart of Montmartre, it’s not just a museum; it’s like stepping back into the days when artists, poets, and dreamers ruled the hill.
What is the Musée de Montmartre?

• It’s a historical museum dedicated to Montmartre’s rich artistic and cultural past.
• Housed in a 17th-century building — one of the oldest in Montmartre — where famous artists like Pierre-Auguste Renoir once lived and worked.
• You’ll find paintings, posters, and manuscripts from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, showcasing the neighborhood's role in shaping modern art.

Highlights

• Original works by Montmartre legends: Toulouse-Lautrec, Modigliani, Utrillo, Suzanne Valadon, and more.
• Recreations of old studios and cabarets, like the infamous Le Chat Noir.
• Renoir Gardens: Peaceful, beautifully landscaped gardens that overlook the vineyard of Montmartre (yes, there’s a vineyard!) — you can even sit where Renoir painted The Swing.
• Temporary exhibitions on local art, music, and culture. Location
• 12 Rue Cortot, 75018 Paris
  Just a short stroll from the Sacré-Cœur and Place du TertreHours
• Open daily, usually from around 10 AM to 6 PM, but it’s always good to double-check if you're planning to go.
  
• Admission
• Tickets are usually around €13 for adults, with reduced rates available. Entry often includes access to the gardens.

Vibe

• Much quieter than other big museums.
• Intimate, personal, and rich with stories — especially if you love the artistic, rebellious, and romantic spirit of Montmartre.
