Montmartre Museum

The Montmartre Museum occupies the Maison du Bel Air, a 17th-century house at 12 Rue Cortot where artists such as Renoir, Suzanne Valadon, Maurice Utrillo, Émile Bernard and Raoul Dufy lived and worked. Its permanent collections, belonging to the Le Vieux Montmartre association, bring together paintings, posters, drawings and photographs that tell the story of the Butte, the ferment of its studios and the atmosphere of its cabarets, with works by Toulouse-Lautrec, Steinlen, Utrillo and Valadon, as well as Henri Rivière's shadow theatre. Visitors can tour the atelier-apartment of Suzanne Valadon and Maurice Utrillo, reconstructed with period furniture and details, and walk through the Renoir gardens, inspired by the canvases the painter created there, with views over the Montmartre vineyard. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions and has the Café Renoir, open from 11am to 6pm.
