The Musée de la Vie Romantique, or Museum of Romantic Life, is a museum in a 19th-century building dedicated to great writers and artists of the Romantic period. The museum sits at the foot of Montmartre hill, about 15 minutes north of the Paris city centre. It’s one of 14 members of the Paris Musées organisation.
The main building is a historic pavilion that was the Parisian base of a famed Dutch painter, and the museum displays documents, photos, original works, ephemera and artefacts related to renowned figures of the romantic period, including artists, poets, writers, sculptors and many others.
