Museum of the Romantic Life The Romantic Movement in the 19th century

16 Rue Chaptal Paris 75009 +33 1 55 31 95 67 http://www.paris.fr/FR/ASP/SITEs/SITE.ASP?SITE=02023

The building that is now home to this museum originally belonged to painter Ary Scheffer (1795-1858) and his nephew, the writer Ernest Renan. After their deaths, the place became a celebration of their lives and their circle of intellectual friends, which included Chopin, Delacroix and George Sand. The museum's main room (devoted entirely to Sand) exhibits a selection of the novelist's personal belongings, including a collection of watercolours, lockets and jewellery. Temporary exhibitions on 19th-century artistic and literary life are organized on a regular basis in Ary Scheffers studio. Review © 2009, Wcities
