Clemenceau Museum

The Clemenceau Museum in Paris's 16th arrondissement preserves the apartment and garden of the French statesman Georges Clemenceau, who lived there from 1895 until his death. The house museum has been open to visitors since 1931 and presents the rooms just as they were on the day he died. The ground floor holds numerous exhibits that reflect his life and work, including the famous coat and gaiters he wore on his visits to the front during World War I. The collection is rounded out by portraits, photographs, books, newspapers, and manuscripts. Admission is charged, and the museum is open in the afternoons from Tuesday to Saturday, except in August.
