Lambinet Museum

A former private residence from the 18th century, the Lambinet Museum was built for King Louis XV’s building contractor. In 1929, the Lambinet family bequeathed it to the city of Versailles to set up a museum that has been open to the public since 1932.

Description

Benefiting from a transfer of Fine Arts collections from the municipal library and gradually supplemented with purchases, donations and legacies, the ** Lambinet Museum** is a true “collectors’ museum”.

The establishment offers a wide variety of works featuring different techniques from the Renaissance to the mid-20th century: paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings, as well as furniture and objets d’art. The art of living in Versailles in the 18th century, the history of the city of Versailles and the French Revolution in particular, are the main focuses of this museum located in the heart of Versailles, not far from the famous palace.
