The Musée Gustave Moreau was designed by the painter himself and includes his private apartment and the large gallery he built to display his work.

The lower floor of Gustave Moreau Museum is dedicated to Moreau portraiture and souvenirs from his travels including a room devoted to the lady who did not return his love.

Upstairs the Museum features his famous paintings and includes several acknowledged masterpieces alongside the sketches and drafts that preceded them. In total there are 4,800 drawings and 450 watercolours on display, a staggering amount. This is a fascinating insight into the life and work of this great, mad painter.

Musée Gustave Moreau contains an apartment which the painter lived and this has been preserved exactly as it was 100 years ago, complete with the painter’s personal effects. The studio and study have also been painstakingly preserved.
