Musée Victor-Hugo

The museum occupies a former shipowner's residence on the Seine River banks, displaying personal belongings, manuscripts, and original letters of Victor Hugo.

The museum opened its doors in 1959 and received the prestigious Musée de France designation in February 2003, marking its national importance.

The exhibitions present paintings, sculptures, and illustrations that demonstrate the influence of Victor Hugo's literary works on French artistic expression.

The museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday with adult admission at 5 euros and reduced rates at 3 euros for guided exploration.

The location holds memories of the tragic drowning of Hugo's daughter Léopoldine in 1843, which deeply influenced his later literary works.
