Musée Daubigny: an artistic immersion in the landscapes of Auvers-sur-Oise

In the heart ofAuvers-sur-Oise, the Musée Daubigny invites art lovers to immerse themselves in the world of the landscape painters of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Housed in the former Manoir des Colombières, a charming 17th-century building, this municipal museum presents a year-round permanent collection of works mainly from the Auvers school, as well as a variety of temporary exhibitions. To visit this historic site, just take a few steps across from theAuberge Ravoux entrance.

The Musée Daubigny was founded in 1986 by a group of enthusiasts to showcase the region's exceptional pictorial heritage and keep Daubigny's legacy alive.

Where Charles-François Daubigny, pioneer of plein-air landscape painting and precursor of the Impressionists, lived and worked, the museum now exhibits his works and those of artists who lived or worked in Auvers. Did you know that Daubigny sailed on the Oise in his studio boat, the Botin, painting directly from the water, a river journey that can be followed in his paintings?
