Maison de Mallarmé, Literary museum in Vulaines-sur-Seine, France.
The museum displays Stéphane Mallarmé's personal items, manuscripts, and artworks within the rooms where the French poet lived from 1874 to 1898.
The building, originally a riverside inn, became Mallarmé's residence in 1874 and was transformed into a departmental museum after its acquisition in 1985.
The museum organizes three annual exhibitions focusing on historical aspects, contemporary art, and previously unseen works related to Mallarmé's literary contributions.
Access to the museum is complimentary for visitors under 18, job seekers, and individuals with disabilities, with temporary closure scheduled until 2025.
Visitors can examine the Saxe clock mentioned in Mallarmé's poetry, his collection of pipes, and the Japanese cabinet that influenced his writing.

France preserves the homes of its greatest writers, transformed today into literary museums. From Balzac's house in Paris, where the author of 'The Human Comedy' wrote his novels while drinking countless coffees, to Nohant Castle in Berry where George Sand met Chopin and Flaubert, these places tell the story of French literary creation. You can also visit Montaigne's tower in Périgord, where the philosopher wrote his Essays surrounded by his library, or the Château Monte-Cristo built by Alexandre Dumas after the success of his adventure novels. These houses offer direct access to the worlds of the authors who lived there. The priory of Saint-Cosme near Tours preserves the memory of Ronsard, a Renaissance poet, while the house of Aunt Léonie in Illiers-Combray takes visitors back to Marcel Proust’s childhood. In Normandy, Maurice Leblanc’s residence in Étretat celebrates Arsène Lupin’s universe, and in the Basque Country, the Arnaga villa showcases Edmond Rostand’s regional architecture, author of 'Cyrano de Bergerac.' Each visit helps understand how these writers lived, worked, and drew inspiration from their daily environments.
