Musée Hébert, Art museum in 6th arrondissement, France.
Description
Musée Hébert is an art museum occupying an 18th-century townhouse at 85 rue du Cherche-Midi in Paris's 6th district. The building holds the collections and personal materials of academic painter Ernest Hebert, who made it his home and studio.
History
The townhouse was built in 1743 for the Count of Montmorency and later became the residence of academic painter Ernest Hebert. Hebert occupied the building until his death in 1908, transforming it into his personal center for artistic creation and collection building.
Culture
The museum displays portraits of notable figures from Hebert's era, including literary critic Jules Lemaitre and prominent Parisian society women. These works offer insight into how the artist captured the refined world of late 19th-century Paris and the people who shaped it.
Practical
The museum is located on rue du Cherche-Midi, a well-connected street in the heart of Paris's Left Bank with easy access to nearby attractions. It is advisable to check opening information in advance, as the site has undergone extended closures for major structural restoration work.
