Maison d'Auguste Comte, Biographical museum and writer's home in 6th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The museum occupies a 150-square-meter second-floor apartment with restored rooms featuring period furniture, personal belongings, and an extensive library collection.

Auguste Comte, who established the principles of positivism, resided in this apartment from 1841 until his death in 1857, writing major philosophical works.

The museum displays Comte's study room with its original wooden desk, blackboard for mathematics lectures, and two libraries containing scientific and philosophical texts.

Visitors can explore the museum through guided tours every Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 PM, with access from Odéon metro station.

The dining room maintains its original state from 1857, complete with mahogany chairs and chandeliers from the philosopher's time.
