Villa Vassilieff, Art museum in Montparnasse, Paris, France.
Description
Villa Vassilieff is an art museum housed in a converted residence at the end of a cul-de-sac in Montparnasse. The venue displays contemporary art exhibitions within its original rooms and spaces.
History
Marie Vassilieff founded her art studio here in 1911, and it soon became a gathering place for artists like Modigliani during World War I. The building later transformed into a recognized hub of the Paris art world.
Culture
