Musee Bourdelle

About

The Musée Bourdelle, situated in Paris’s 15th arrondissement, is a museum dedicated to the works of sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, one of the most influential artists of the early 20th century. Housed in the artist’s former studio, the museum showcases a rich collection of marble, bronze, and plaster sculptures, alongside paintings, drawings, and design sketches that trace Bourdelle’s evolution from classicist to modernist. The permanent collection is free and accessible to all, while temporary exhibitions, such as the current Magdalena Abakanowicz showcase, offer visitors a chance to experience contemporary sculpture at a modest admission fee. Visitors can explore the intimate galleries, the historic workshop spaces, and the stunning contemporary wing designed by Christian de Portzamparc. With free admission to the permanent collection, excellent accessibility, and a central location near the Montparnasse–Bienvenüe metro station, Musée Bourdelle is a must‑visit destination for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and families exploring Paris.
