Description

Begin your journey into the world of modern sculpture at the Zadkine Museum, a rare artist’s studio preserved in the heart of Paris. Once home to Russian-born sculptor Ossip Zadkine and painter Valentine Prax, this intimate museum offers a glimpse into the creative spirit of Montparnasse’s artistic golden age. The studio, carefully restored to its original dimensions, retains the authentic atmosphere of a lived-in workspace, where wood, stone, and clay come alive beneath glass roofs that bathe the sculptures in natural light. As you explore the museum, follow a thoughtfully designed exhibition route that winds through both the house and the lush garden. The garden itself is a peaceful retreat, dotted with some of Zadkine’s most striking works, offering a serene break from the city’s bustle. Inside, you’ll encounter a comprehensive collection of sculptures, drawings, and personal artifacts, each telling the story of Zadkine’s evolution as an artist and his deep connection to Paris. The displays are curated to evoke the feeling of a working studio, allowing you to sense the creative process that shaped each piece. Your visit concludes in the tranquil garden, where you can linger among sculptures and reflect on the legacy of one of Paris’s most cherished artistic figures.
