Dedicated to the Russian-born sculptor Ossip Zadkine, the Zadkine Museum sits in the artist’s former workshop in Paris’s 6th arrondissement. For Paris Heritage Days 2026, this art venue swings its doors wide for the curious on Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20, with a meticulously curated program.
From wood and stone sculptures to drawings and sketches, the Musée Zadkine presents a variety of works that reveal the evolution of Zadkine's artistic style, from early works marked by Cubism to the more organic, abstract sculptures of his later period.
Outside, the museum's magnificent, verdant garden and its tranquil atmosphere are enhanced by monumental sculptures to be admired outdoors, under Paris's clear blue sky. The Heritage Days 2026 offer a chance to discover the work of a talented artist and to delve into art history through the prism of his creative genius.
So, what's on the agenda for this exceptional cultural weekend at the Musée Zadkine? Read all about it here!
Exploring Cyanotype
Like Zadkine, who let himself be guided by serendipitous discoveries in his garden and by the emergence of forms in nature, let's explore how to tame the cyanotype technique to craft a stunning cyan-blue herbarium or a one-of-a-kind photograph of a museum sculpture.
This workshop is led by Les Inventeurs, founders of a space dedicated to creativity.
