Musée Zadkine
About

The Musée Zadkine, located near the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris's 6th arrondissement, is a serene and intimate museum dedicated to the Russian-born sculptor Ossip Zadkine (1890–1967). Established in 1982 through the bequest of Zadkine's widow, painter Valentine Prax, the museum occupies the artist's former home and studio, where he lived and worked from 1928 until his death. The museum offers a unique glimpse into Zadkine's creative universe, preserving the authentic atmosphere of his workspace. The collection comprises over 300 works, including sculptures in wood, stone, plaster, and bronze, as well as drawings, photographs, and tapestries. These pieces trace Zadkine's artistic evolution, from his early "primitivist" carvings to his explorations of Cubism and his later lyrical forms. The museum's layout, enhanced by natural light from glass ceilings, allows visitors to experience the artworks in a setting that reflects the original spirit of the studio. Surrounding the museum is a lush garden, transformed by Zadkine and Prax from an old stone quarry into a Mediterranean-inspired haven. The garden features winding paths, terraces, and a variety of sculptures, providing a tranquil space for reflection. It also serves as a venue for cultural events, including concerts, exhibitions, and workshops, particularly during the summer months. After undergoing renovations, the Musée Zadkine is set to reopen its permanent collections on May 20, 2025.
