Bourdelle Museum

What to expect

Book your tickets for the temporary exhibitions at the Bourdelle Museum. As a student and later an assistant to Rodin, Antoine Bourdelle also decided, towards the end of his life, to create his own museum in his studio. Today, a visit to the Bourdelle Museum is an incredible immersion into the master's intimate world. While one can stroll through the sculptor's living spaces, it is especially his workrooms that are fascinating. In front of benches laden with tools, unfinished statues, and period furniture, one might almost believe that the master of the house is about to resume work. Throughout the rooms, you'll encounter some of his most famous works, such as a model for the Monument to Mickiewicz or Hercules the Archer. Admission is free for the permanent collections of this City of Paris museum, but there is a fee for its numerous temporary exhibitions. Reserve your ticket in advance for immediate access.
