Musée Édith Piaf, Private museum in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France

Musée Édith Piaf occupies two rooms of a private apartment at 5, rue Crespin du Gast in the 11th arrondissement, where Édith Piaf lived in 1933. Run by the association Les Amis d'Édith Piaf, it displays her china collection, gold and platinum records, stage dresses and city clothes, shoes, photographs, fan letters, sheet music, posters, recordings, sculptures and paintings. A brass plaque by the entrance gives the association's name and a telephone number for visits by appointment.

The museum was created by Bernard Marchois, author of two biographies of Édith Piaf, and is run by the association Les Amis d'Édith Piaf. It occupies two rooms of a private apartment at 5 rue Crespin du Gast, where Piaf herself lived in 1933. The sources give no founding date.

The museum is run by the association "Les Amis d'Édith Piaf", whose name appears on the brass plaque at the entrance, which states visits are by appointment only. Édith Piaf lived in this building in 1933, before her rise to fame. The collection gathers stage costumes, city clothes, photographs, fan letters, sheet music, posters, recordings, sculptures, paintings and a porcelain collection.

Visits are by appointment only: call 01 43 55 52 72 to arrange one, as the plaque at 5 rue Crespin du Gast states. Admission is free. The museum occupies two rooms of a private apartment, so groups are small and the setting is a lived-in flat rather than a gallery.

Édith Piaf lived at 5 rue Crespin du Gast in 1933, and the museum now occupies two rooms of that private apartment. The plaque by the door reads "Musée - Association Les Amis d'Édith Piaf, visites uniquement sur rendez-vous" and gives the phone number 01 43 55 52 72.
