Musée Maillol

The Musée Maillol is a private art museum in Paris's 7th arrondissement, founded in 1995 by Dina Vierny. For many years she was the muse and model of the sculptor Aristide Maillol, whose work forms the heart of the collection. The historic 18th-century building, formerly the Hôtel Bouchardon, houses a diverse selection of drawings, paintings, and sculptures across more than 4,000 square meters of exhibition space. Alongside Maillol's famous works such as La Méditerranée and Pomone, you'll also find pieces by major 20th-century artists, including Matisse, Picasso, Cézanne, and Rodin. The permanent collection is complemented by temporary exhibitions held three times a year. The museum is run by the Fondation Dina Vierny, which also operates a second museum in Banyuls-sur-Mer, where Maillol lived and worked. Visitors gain a deep insight into Maillol's artistic legacy and the modern art of his era in an elegant historic setting.
