Musée Roybet Fould

The Musée Roybet Fould is an art museum in Courbevoie housing a collection of paintings and artworks from the late 1800s, displayed within a building built with red pine wood and decorated with Scandinavian architectural features. The interior spaces are arranged to showcase each work clearly, allowing visitors to study the different pieces comfortably.

The building began as a Swedish-Norwegian pavilion created for the 1878 World's Fair in Paris before being moved to Courbevoie. This relocation gave the structure a permanent home and transformed it into a lasting museum space.

The collection brings together paintings and sculptures that show different ways artists saw the world during the late 1800s. Walking through the rooms, you experience how these creators worked in various styles, from realistic portraiture to more experimental forms.

The museum opens several days a week and welcomes all visitors free of charge, making it accessible without cost concerns. You can plan your visit at a relaxed pace and spend as much time as you need studying the artworks.

The artist Consuelo Fould donated the museum to the town on one condition: it would serve as a memorial to Ferdinand Roybet, her artistic mentor. This personal gift adds meaning beyond the artworks themselves, connecting the collection to a real human story.
