Atelier Foujita
The Atelier Foujita is a small museum in Villiers-le-Bâcle set in the artist's former home and workshop. The rooms display his painting tools, sketches, personal objects, and murals he created for a chapel in Reims.
Foujita was a Japanese artist who moved to France and made it his permanent home. The house dates to the early 20th century and served as his residence and workplace for many decades before becoming a museum.
The house reflects Foujita's life as a Japanese artist who made France his home. Visitors can see how he arranged his personal objects and workspace, revealing his daily habits and creative character.
A visit typically takes one to two hours and requires no special preparation. The location near Paris makes a day trip feasible, and parking is available nearby, though public transportation may need planning.
The artist's studio remains on the top floor with brushes, paints, and models arranged as if he had just stepped away. This preserved arrangement offers a direct window into Foujita's creative process and daily work habits.
