Musée du Luxembourg

Located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, the Musée du Luxembourg is a real treasure trove for art and history lovers. Founded in 1750, it is one of the oldest museums in the French capital. Nestling in the enchanting setting of the Jardin du Luxembourg, this museum offers a unique cultural experience, combining art, history and nature.

A rich and varied programme in a historic museum

Although the Musée du Luxembourg does not have a permanent collection, it is known for its internationally renowned temporary exhibitions. Managed by the French Senate and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux, the museum hosts two to three exhibitions a year, each carefully selected for its cultural and artistic impact. The themes covered are varied, ranging from the Renaissance in Europe to art and power, and including retrospectives of modern artists.

An idyllic setting for a cultural visit

The museum is ideally located in the Jardin du Luxembourg, one of the most beautiful parks in Paris. After exploring the exhibitions, you can stroll through the gardens, admire the sculptures and relax by the Grand Bassin, where children have been playing with pretty wooden sailing boats since the 2nd half of the 19th century. This green and peaceful setting contrasts pleasantly with the hustle and bustle of the city, offering a haven of serenity.

Activities for all ages

The Musée du Luxembourg doesn't just exhibit works of art; it also offers a host of activities to enrich visitors' experience. Guided tours, children's workshops and lectures** are regularly organised to enable everyone to discover art in a fun and interactive way. These initiatives make the museum a lively and dynamic place, accessible to all.
