(Last Update: 27.01.2025) Paris's surprises never end, and it doesn't look like they will. At the beginning of 2015, on the Montparnasse side Bourdelle Museum (museum burdel or museum wheatWe learned that there was a very special sculpture museum called ) and went there the first weekend. It's bricked on the outside küçük When we arrived at the door of the building, we were unfortunately disappointed because it was closed for renovations. Then some time passed, and somehow we remembered, oh yes, I remembered because the weather was so nice. Montparnasse SkyscraperWe wanted to go to the terrace of , and while we were on the Montparnasse side, we wanted to go to where the museum is and take a look again. This time we were lucky: The museum was reopened to visitors.

Montparnasse BuildingWhen you turn your back to the western façade of , enter the boulevard opposite and then take the first left. Rue BourdelleYou will enter . As you continue down this street, the Bourdelle Museum, with its red-brick façade and small garden, will greet you immediately on the right. Like me, at first glance you may think that this is a small museum, but it is not such a place at all. When you enter through the door and come to the main entrance on the left, you will see this museum. free It will make you even happier to learn that it is. However, to keep visitor statistics, sometimes they give you a ticket free of charge, maybe you can keep it as a souvenir.

The first place where you start visiting the museum is the garden of the museum, a courtyard that you see from the outside as you arrive. This museum is home to the famous French sculptor whose works you are viewing. Antoine BourelleThe house where he once lived and also his workshop. 1861-1929 The house where the works of Bourdelle, who lived between 1960 and 1990, are exhibited collectively, 1949 It was converted into a museum in .

Around five hundred works of Antoine Bourdelle are exhibited in this museum. So much so that the first drafts of the works, repetitions, molds, sketches, everything seems to be in this museum as if the sculptor left it before his death. I think the oldest section, which was used as a workshop by the sculptor and is on the left as you go in from the courtyard, is the most impressive part of the museum. The tools the artist used while making sculptures and his works are kept in a wonderful workshop, one side of which is covered with glass from the ceiling to the ceiling.

During our trip to southern France in August 2015 Aix en ProvenceI also visited and had the chance to see the house and workshop of the famous painter Cézanne. When I saw the painter's workshop there, I was very surprised and appreciated that he had done his work in such a modest and small place. It was the same hall, but much smaller. Now that I think about it, you don't generally need large spaces to work with painting, but sculpture? Sculptors do not produce small works as we know them; sometimes they have to create works of gigantic size. Famous sculptor who was a contemporary of Bourdelle and with whom he worked together for a while. Auguste Rodin's museum-house in MeudonI thought similar things while traveling around. In fact, in my opinion, Bourdelle's workshop-house is much more impressive than Rodin's. But Rodin's house museum in ParisOf course, the elegance of is not here. However, I liked Bourdelle's house in a different way... While visiting this place, I also remembered our famous sculptor. Mehmet Aksoy and came his quaint workshop house. Actually, I would love to visit there one day.

There is another hall behind Bourdelle's workshop, where various videos are shown on the screen and there are examples of the mold works made by the artist in the showcases. Then, we leave the door of the workshop and go to the left, reaching the secret garden at the back. This is also an extremely interesting place. Beautiful sculptures are waiting for you in a green and peaceful environment in the middle of Paris. As you progress through the long, narrow garden, you see that there is another garden at the back. The tiny statues were made with the same care as the big ones. Especially the small equestrian statue in the backyard is so impressive, and of course the giant equestrian statue hidden among the trees behind it. I also want to come here in winter, when the trees are leafless, and admire the statue to my heart's content.

When we come back from the garden, you will notice that there is another door opposite Bourdelle's workshop; So the museum tours never end. First a small hall, statues and sculptures, then a glazed corridor stretching along Beethoven busts, then successive halls and impressive statues. This time, I feel a sense of relief in the white-walled living rooms. Right in this hall, my cousin, who I believe (and know) has a great talent for sculpture, Emre It comes to my mind... Emre, who could have been a great sculptor but now found himself as a banker due to the wrath of our education system, I'm sure he is a very good banker now and very happy, but I always think that if the necessary conditions were met, he could be one of the most famous sculptors of Turkey. He doesn't even need to be famous, I think he would be happier if we had provided him with an environment where he could work on sculpture.

Life goes on somehow, so let's continue our tour and move forward in the hall we are in: We see that there is a descent down from this hall, so the museum does not end again. While preparing this article, I learned that the living room below 1992It was built in a contemporary form in , thus the museum was enlarged considerably. When you go downstairs, a gray atmosphere covers the walls. Then I see that the famous Polish poet is in front of me. adam mickiewicz their statues remain; This time I can never forget Agir Roman I remember the movie. Bourdelle Museum takes me from place to place…

Then we go back upstairs and return to the courtyard where we started, the cute chubby museum guard says “no, the museum is not finished yet” and directs us upstairs 🙂 We go upstairs to the section above the round columned gallery and here again beautiful sculptures and reliefs await us. Then we go downstairs again and realize that the museum is not finished, but this time we discover it ourselves. If we had turned left immediately when we first entered the courtyard where we started to tour the museum, we would have discovered that there was another hall there! I learn that this is also the large hall added to the museum in 1961 and again impressive sculptures greet us. Especially right now Avenue Montaignelocated in Théâtre des Champs-Elysées – Champs Elysées TheaterI learn that Bourdelle's signature is on many of his sculptures, including the main façade reliefs, and the first works of those reliefs are exhibited in many parts of the museum, including this hall. Then the Bourdelle Museum seems more meaningful to me.

Finally, we complete our museum tour and go out; We are happy to see beautiful sculptures and to visit such an interesting building in the middle of Paris.

Bourdelle Museum is open every day from 10:00 to 18:00, except Mondays and public holidays, and is free for everyone.. That's why when you come to Montparnasse Montparnasse Building, Montparnasse Cemetery I think you will have a very nice day if you include this place in your travel plan.
