Denis Diderot House Of Enlightenment
Denis Diderot House Of Enlightenment, 18th-century manor museum in Langres, France
The House of Enlightenment occupies the Hotel du Breuil de Saint Germain, featuring multiple exhibition rooms dedicated to philosopher Denis Diderot's life and works.
The building, originally constructed in the 16th century and reconstructed in the 18th century, opened as a museum on October 5, 2013, coinciding with Diderot's birth date.
The museum displays numerous artifacts including a plaster cast of Diderot's bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon, while presenting the development of the Encyclopédie through exhibits.
Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Sunday, with audio guides available in English, French, German, and Dutch languages for comprehensive exploration.
The gardens, designed by landscape architect Louis Benech, complement the museum's architecture and provide additional space for contemplation and discovery.
