Musée national Eugène-Delacroix

The Musée national Eugène-Delacroix is an art museum in the former residence of the 19th-century French painter, located in a quiet Parisian neighborhood. The small building houses over 100 paintings, drawings, and personal items that document his artistic work.

The house was Delacroix's home during his final years, and supporters of the artist purchased it in 1929 to save it from demolition. This rescue effort led to the creation of the museum as it exists today.

The museum occupies Delacroix's former home, allowing visitors to see the rooms where he lived and worked. This intimate setting gives a sense of how the artist spent his daily life.

The museum is located on a quiet street in the 6th arrondissement and is easily reached by foot or public transport. The rooms are small and intimate, so it is best to visit in the morning or during quieter times.

The preserved studio in the garden still holds the artist's tools, easels, and furniture just as he left them. Seeing this space feels like stepping into a frozen moment from his final working days.
