Musée National Gustave Moreau

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:02:05

Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau's former studio is crammed with 4800 of his paintings, drawings and sketches – although symbolism received more attention as a literary movement in France (Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud). A particular highlight is La Licorne (The Unicorn), inspired by La Dame à la Licorne (The Lady with the Unicorn) cycle of tapestries in the Musée National du Moyen Âge.

Present a Palais Garnier or Musée d’Orsay ticket for reduced admission.
