• Self-guided tour of Auguste Comte's apartment
  Saturday, May 18, 6:00 p.m.
  

  The Maison d'Auguste Comte is an apartment-museum in which the French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798-1857) lived. Located at 10 rue Monsieur le Prince, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, it was Comte's last home, from 1841 until his death in 1857. Thereafter, his disciples took great care to preserve the house in which his philosophy was born, in accordance with their master's last wishes.
  
  Now a museum, the apartment is the property of an international association dedicated to Auguste Comte, and is open to visitors. Once through the door, visitors discover the philosopher's home, which has been preserved just as he knew it - a veritable time capsule - with its original furnishings and objects that once belonged to him. The recently-launched thematic tour, using a museographic device that preserves the authenticity of the site, informs visitors about Auguste Comte's philosophy.
