The doors of the Maison de Victor Hugo will remain closed this weekend, at least on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The municipal museum at 6 Place des Vosges in Paris’s 4th arrondissement is among the cultural venues closed to the public because of the demonstrations announced in the capital.

Museums, shops and salons: several venues have chosen to close this Saturday, October 24, 2026, ahead of the demonstration planned in Paris. [Read more]
This exceptional closure affects, in particular, visitors who were planning to make the most of the Toussaint school holidays to explore Victor Hugo’s former apartment. It was here, in the heart of the Place des Vosges, that the author of Les Misérables lived with his family from 1832 to 1848. Now a museum, the site offers a glimpse into his private and artistic world, beyond his famous novels and poems. So visitors will have to reschedule this literary outing. The same goes for the temporary exhibition “Hugo and Architecture: From Stone to Pen,” which will also be closed that day.
Usually open Tuesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the museum will therefore not be welcoming visitors this Saturday. For now, no additional closure has been announced for Sunday, October 25, but it’s best to check the official website of the Maison de Victor Hugo before planning your visit. Any arrangements for rescheduling or refunding tickets for October 24 also remain to be confirmed.
