Halle Saint-Pierre, Naive art museum in Montmartre, Paris, France
Halle Saint-Pierre is an art museum in the 18th arrondissement dedicated to folk and naive art, housing around 600 works across multiple media. The collection features paintings, drawings, and other artistic pieces created by artists from different backgrounds and traditions.
The museum was founded in 1986 and occupies a former market building from 1868 at the foot of Montmartre hill. This conversion of a historic structure into an art space created a home for this artistic tradition.
The museum presents works by artists working outside academic traditions, celebrating art created by people without formal training. These exhibitions highlight creative expressions that mainstream art institutions often overlook.
The venue is located near Anvers metro station and easily accessible by public transport, with varying hours across different days of the week. It is worth checking current conditions before visiting to confirm your preferred time is available.
The building once served as a garage for the municipal cleanliness service before becoming an art venue. Its bookstore launched the French edition of the Anglo-Saxon magazine Raw Vision in 1995 and stocks small specialist publications such as Zon'Art and Gazogène.
