Musée Hector-Berlioz

The Hector Berlioz Museum occupies a three-story residence from 1680, featuring period furnishings, musical instruments, and personal belongings of the composer.

Born in this house on December 11, 1803, Hector Berlioz lived here until age 18, and the building became a museum in 1935 under Minister Édouard Herriot.

The museum displays an extensive collection of manuscripts, scores, and correspondence that document the development of French romantic music in the 1800s.

The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 12:30 and 13:30 to 18:00, except Tuesdays between September and June, with free admission for visitors under 18.

The cellar space hosts annual temporary exhibitions exploring different themes related to Berlioz's compositions and their influence on classical music.
