I wrote a while back about exploring and falling in love with the Musée Gustave Moreau, the house-museum devoted to the 19th-century painter. I went back during my last week in Paris, this time with a camera.
Gustave Moreau's office.
A few photos of Moreau's parents' dining room.
The bedroom.
Double portrait of Moreau facing his mother, with a drawing below of Mme Moreau by the artist.
The "boudoir," a small room off the bedroom that Moreau filled with the former possessions of his long-term mistress, who died several years before the artist.
The ateliers, where visiting lycée students were drawing.
The ateliers were built above the earlier house designed and built by Moreau's architect father. The iron structure supporting the studios is partly exposed.
Draw back little curtains and one finds hinged frames holding Moreau's drawings.
