Near the Jardin du Luxembourg at 100 bis Rue d’Assas, Musée Zadkine presents the work of sculptor Ossip Zadkine in the house and studio where he lived and worked. Its collection spans sculptures, tapestries, drawings and photographs, with temporary exhibitions adding another reason to visit. The rooms feel closely tied to the artist’s life, and the garden displays sculptures outdoors. It is a compact stop for modern art, especially if you want a quieter museum visit before or after a walk in the Luxembourg Gardens.
A home and studio turned museum
Ossip Zadkine lived and worked at this address from 1928 until his death in 1967. The museum took shape in the house and studio in 1932, preserving a setting closely connected to his life and work.
Zadkine’s wife, painter Valentine Prax, left their home and collection to the city of Paris. The museum’s holdings include more than 300 works across sculpture, tapestries, drawings and photographs.
Works inside and out
The collection brings together different stages and forms of Zadkine’s work. Drawings and photographs sit alongside sculptures, giving you more than finished pieces to look at; the range also includes tapestries.
The garden extends the display outdoors, with sculptures set among the greenery. Temporary exhibitions add changing perspectives on the collection and its context. Clear signs help you follow the visit, and the museum app provides further information.
