(Last Update: 10.01.2026) While I am preparing a promotional article for you about a place or an interesting place outside the Paris area, I am trying to share my suggestions about other places you should see or visit while you are there, so that you do not go there just for one thing. Thus, I want you to go out of Paris and spend a more detailed and enjoyable time in the place where you will spend a significant part of your day. In this article, we will talk about one of such places, Musée des Peintres de Barbizon – Museum of Barbizon PaintersWe all know .
Barbizon Painters Museum, also known as Musée Départmental de l'Ecole de Barbizon, is a museum in the art of painting. Barbizon School It is an art center where the painters of the period, known as the 19th century, both stayed and carried out their painting works. This modest museum, which once hosted painters from many corners of the world, offers an atmosphere that its visitors will admire, preserved as the first day, both in terms of space and with the items inside.
Barbizon You read the article about the village, you came all the way from Paris to see it; maybe after Fontainebleau Castleto maybe Vaux le Vicomte CastleYou are going to go to , but will you finish walking from one end to the other of the beautiful street of this small village? Of course not... It's one of the three museums I recommend you to see while you're here. Jean-FrançoisThe museum, which is the workshop house of Besharat Gallery, and here is one, Museum of Barbizon Painters.
Old name Ganne Inn (oberj jan or obeğj jan) Auberge in the name of this building can be considered as "inn" in old Turkish meaning a place to stay. You know, it means the place where travelers come and pass and stop while passing by. Auberge Genne is also about two hundred years old a building and 19th century A place that served as both a hotel and a school for important painters of the period in the middle of the century. Painters not only interacted and improved their art in this small but charming village, but also Fontainebleau ForestThey had the opportunity to create beautiful nature paintings in the fields around the village. Ottoman painter Şeker Ahmet PashaI know that he was influenced by the Barbizon School during the years he lived in Paris, but did he come to Barbizon at that time and stay in this auberge? Sakip Sabanci Museum in the collection Roe deer in the forest forest in painting Fontainebleau Forest Is it possible? I don't have clear information on that subject. I would be happy if there is anyone among you who is an art historian or has knowledge on this subject.
BarbizonIt has one main street, and even - to call it a street would be an exaggeration - a street. When you enter that street, you will reach the beautiful house whose photo you see at the beginning of the article, on the left. Without even knowing, we asked "what is this place?" We looked inside the door and when we realized that this place was a museum, we immediately entered. We entered and took photos of this beautiful place to prepare this article. While preparing the article Barbizon School I learned a lot about it.
The day we visited the Barbizon Painters Museum was in October 2016. Cultural Heritage Days – Journées du Patrimoine event and the museum was free that day. Normally The museum has an entrance fee ve It can be visited every day of the year, except Tuesday, between 10:00-12:30 and 14:00-17:30.. In July and August, the museum's closing time is half an hour later. Closed due to public holidays on 1 January, 1 May and 24 December To check the current ticket prices and other details of the museum, please check the official web page link at the end of the article before going.
Well, since I did not have a Pariste.Net that I could read beforehand like you, I had no idea what I would encounter inside after I decided to visit the museum :) But when I entered, I immediately realized what a right decision I had made. After entering the Barbizon Painters Museum's ticket area to the right, passing through the tiny courtyard with a water well, entering through the first door you come across, turning right, and coming across examples of the dining and bedrooms of the old inn, you wonder "what if one is not an artist here?" I know you can't help but ask yourself:
Dining tables, dining sets, kitchen equipment, beds, cabinets and other items create such a beautiful atmosphere in this very old building that people want to spend a long time here. You are examining every corner of the coast in detail. You feel as if you are visiting an old person's house rather than a museum. The lower floor ends with a few such rooms; It's not a very big place already.
The upper floor is empty in terms of furniture but richer in terms of paintings. It is a very nice feeling to examine the paintings of the painters who once stayed and worked here on the walls, row by row; And also knowing that the people who painted these paintings once stayed in these rooms. Art does not only emerge with the talent of the artist; He also needs an environment and inspiring infrastructure that allows him to produce art. Most importantly, it is an environment where art is respected and the artist receives some form of reward for his efforts. Yes, most artists are valued after their death, they are always ahead of the times in which they lived, but in the end, it is better to live in a land where making art is not perceived as "empty work". one-zero ahead Doesn't it get you started in life?
After visiting the rooms on the upper floor one by one, you go down the stairs on the other side and reach the place where you first started your trip, that is, the section where you bought your ticket. This place is also a tiny museum shop. When the trip ends like this, one cannot help but say "wish we could have traveled a little more". You may want to walk this trail a second time to take photos. After your trip Things to do in Barbizon already about Barbizon I shared what I know and my suggestions in the article.
Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries
