The Camille Claudel Museum free of charge for Heritage Days 2024

Located in Nogent-sur-Seine, in the house where Camille Claudel spent her formative years, the Musée Camille Claudel is a vibrant tribute to one of the most talented sculptors of the 19th century. A place of remembrance and celebration, it traces the artist's career and highlights her creative genius.

The museum showcases not only the sculptures of Camille Claudel, but also those of other artists of her era, such as Alfred Boucher and Auguste Rodin, highlighting the influences and collaborations that marked her career.

Among the museum's 300 treasures, some of Camille Claudel's most emblematic works are not to be missed. The sculpture "La Valse" is a true ode to passion and dance, while "La Petite Châtelaine" captures the innocence and vulnerability of a young girl. "L'Âge mûr", one of the artist's most poignant works, evokes pain and resignation in the face of the passage of time.

Other masterpieces include "Les Causeuses", which delicately illustrates an intimate conversation between two women, and "Persée et la Gorgone", a dynamic and expressive work. The museum also features sketches and terracotta works, offering a glimpse into Claudel's creative process.

Throughout the Journées du Patrimoine 2024 weekend, visitors can enjoy flash tours of the permanent collections and the temporary exhibition "Camille Claudel à l'œuvre : Sakountala". These 30-minute guided tours, offered at various times, will offer a fascinating insight into the works of Camille Claudel and her contemporaries such as Alfred Boucher. Schedules are as follows:
