The first floor of the museum houses the library and temporary exhibitions
From 1874, Stéphane Mallarmé rented during the holidays the first floor of a small house, a former cottage inn located in the hamlet of Valvins, where he was engaged among others in the pleasures of canoeing. Today, the house has become the Stéphane-Mallarmé museum built on two levels. The ground floor houses the library and hosts temporary exhibitions. On the first floor, we discovered the poet's apartment, the dining room, the bedroom, its rocking-flesh and its shale, the table of the Mardists around which he received his friends on Tuesday in his Parisian apartment on Rue de Rome. There were Villiers de L 'Isle-Adam, Émile Verhaeren, Maurice Maeterlinck, Henri de Régnier, André Gide, Paul Valéry, Nadar, Alfred Jarry, Pierre Louÿs, Ravel, Paul Claudel, Verlaine, Gauguin, Manet, Paul Adam… We also visited the Japanese cabinet in which he retired to read. The poet dies in Valvins on September 9, 1898 and is buried at the nearby cemetery of Samoreau.

Members' reviews on DEPARTMENTAL MUSEUM STÉPHANE-MALLARMÉ
Très beau jardin : le plus : on peut s'installer dans le jardin ou la bibliothèque pour y relire des poèmes.
De très belles animations possibles pour les enfants.
Le seul hic, c'est que la vie de Stéphane Mallarmé est totalement boring. Ah bon, il a loué des pièces en plus et il a repeint la chambre ? La belle affaire ! Oh, il a une belle horloge de Saxe trop kitsch ? Good for him.
Même avec les meilleures intentions du monde, la précision documentaire la plus méticuleuse et une curation où on sent l'amour à chaque pièce, je n'ai pas réussi à accrocher.
Cela dit, le jardin au printemps est très chouette et c'est un très bon spot de lecture.
