The best museums Hauts-De-Seine

Through works of art, we discover the history of the town of Doves and, by extension, of the region. Gustave Curd or Worthless Ribot lived there and painted it, and large industrialists participated in his destiny: Guerlain, Hispano-Suiza…

It was a place brimming with magic and poetry, miraculously preserved, where Arp and Taeuber settled in 1929, in a studio-house designed by Sophie Taeuber. The visitor discovers the extent of the artistic heritage of two major artists of the th century. The atelier of Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber was animated today by the Arp Foundation, whose contours were outlined several years before his death. It is one of the few examples of home houses that survived the disappearance of its actors. A place of creation, where these two pioneers of veneration and concrete art approfondirent their research, influence each other. A place of meetings, exchanges, where we found, alongside collectors from Switzerland, Germany or America, their friends, artists and writers of the avant-garde of the twentieth century. The Fondation Arp was named "Musée de France" in 2004 by order of the Ministry of Culture.

Louis Vuitton (1821-1892) has acquired a great reputation by creating trunks and travel accessories under the Second Empire, so as to become, as everyone knows, one of the global standards of French luxury. The Vuitton family house today houses a valuable collection of th-century baggage in a luxurious environment. Not far away, workshops are still in operation. We manufacture specially commissioned parts at this world-renowned company. Once a year, workshops are open to the public for a visit as surprising as informative.

La Maison des Arts is located in the old Bourdeau property. This charming residence built under the Second Empire is surrounded by a shady park, where remarkable centenary trees are admired such as silver linen and giant redwoods. It is a place of various exhibitions (painting, drawing, sculpture, engraving, photo) and the headquarters of Antony's museum-museum, which presents a collection of objects on the history of the commune. Programming level, each season is rhythmic by several ad hoc events: highlighting the artistic creation of a country, focusing on major artistic trends, contemporary exhibitions… Finally, children between the ages of 5 and 15 can be taught plastic arts, whether it's drawing, painting, modeling, burning or photography - you've understood it, difficult not to find out what the creative passion of your offspring is!

The castle Buchillot (eighteenth century) welcomes the work of the sculptor Paul Belmondo (1898-1982), a classic and figurative artist of his time. Hundreds of works are gathered on pure lines, fruits of donations from his three children, Muriel, Alain and Jean-Paul of course: sculptures, molds, medals, drawings and watercolors. In addition to these collections, there are numerous books from the personal library and the revival of the artist's workshop. Please note that a touch gallery is available to visitors: Here, it's no longer the view that is used, but touch - logical for a sculptor, but you have to think about it! Labellisé Museum of France offers a particularly careful museum: large gallery, touch gallery, design rooms or medals are all architectural successes that enhance the artist's works better than ever.
