Description

The Musée de la Vie Romantique is located in the house of the painter Ary Scheffer, built in 1830. Situated in Pigalle, in the Nouvelle Athènes district, the museum recreates a harmonious historical setting evoking the romantic period. The ground floor is devoted to George Sand and includes portraits, furniture, and jewellery from the 18th and 19th centuries. On the first floor, contemporary works are exhibited around the paintings of Ary Scheffer. An exhibition, and concerts, readings and activities for children are programmed. In the garden of the museum, the tearoom Rose Bakery is a delightfully tranquil spot and serves delicious snacks.
