portraits of prominent Parisians, mementos
of famous men or depictions of everyday

Aside from the permanent exhibits, the
museum also houses a collection of graphic

Carnavalet, custodian of great Parisian interior design schemes Whereas the museum buildings conjure
up five centuries of Parisian architecture,
a series of complete interior design schemes
salvaged from destroyed or renovated
buildings bears witness to the development
of the capital’s interiors from the seventeenth
to the twentieth century.
Dating from the seventeenth century, the
La Rivière rooms are symbolic by virtue of
being the first interior design scheme to be
moved and reinstalled in the museum as
early as 1878, long before the invention of
the so-called “period room”, making the musée
Carnavalet a pioneer in this field. The wooden
panelling and painted ceilings came from the
town house in the place Royale (now the place
des Vosges) which the abbot La Rivière had
renovated by the architect François Le Vau
and the painter Charles Le Brun, when
he purchased it in 1652.
with famous people from varied intellectual,
political and artistic backgrounds in the
capital and also the emotional impact of the
historical scenes are what make this history
museum so original and contribute to the
unique atmosphere which it conveys of the
City of Light down the centuries.
One museum in two town houses The idea of a museum devoted to the history
of Paris came about under the Second Empire,
when a large part of the historic heart of
Paris was being demolished. In 1866, at the
instigation of Baron Haussmann, the city
council bought the hôtel Carnavalet to house
the new institution. The building, which was
constructed in 1548 and altered by François
Mansart in the seventeenth century, was home
to Madame de Sévigné from 1677 to 1696.
The museum opened in 1880. It has been
extended several times and since 1989 it has
also occupied the adjoining hôtel Le Peletier
de Saint-Fargeau, built in 1688 by Pierre Bullet.
Its orangery, one of the last two remaining in
the Marais, was restored in 2000 and houses
prehistoric and Gallo-Roman collections.
A wealth of collectionsWith around 600,000 exhibits spread over more
than one hundred rooms, the musée Carnavalet
houses the largest overall number of collections
in the city of Paris. There is a wide variety of
exhibits, and archaeological remains sit cheek
by jowl with views of Paris in bygone days,

The musee Carnavalet or the historical legacy of Paris Behind this somewhat mysterious name
is hidden one of the capital’s most genuinely
Parisian museums. The oldest of the municipal
museums tells the story of Paris from a bygone
era (a prehistoric dugout canoe dating from
4600 BC) to the present day, in all its immense
variety.
Although it is essentially a history museum,
the musée Carnavalet is nevertheless an art
gallery exhibiting mostly original works in
keeping with the spirit of the genius of Paris.
The story of Paris In a remarkable architectural setting (two
town houses in the Marais district) the story
of Paris unfolds in one hundred or so rooms
and colourful gardens, which are home to
some thousand thriving plant species.
As visitors wander through recreations of
rooms in styles ranging from the seventeenth
to the twentieth century, they can follow
developments in Parisian interior design,
immerse themselves in revolutionary history
from the French Revolution to the Paris
Commune, and also enter into the private lives
of famous Parisians, imagining, for example,
the Marquise de Sévigné at her Chinese
laquerwork desk penning her famous missives,
or even Marcel Proust in his bedroom, dividing
his time between his brass bed and his little
table covered in pens, ink and notebooks…

be installed, in 1989, was the lavish Art Deco
ballroom from the hôtel de Wendel, which
was painted in 1925 by José-Maria Sert,
thus perpetuating the musée Carnavalet’s

Paris in its myriad guises
Every year, several exhibitions turn the
spotlight on different aspects of Parisian
history by focusing on a theme, artist or
historical era. They therefore complement
the permanent collections.
In addition to these major exhibitions, held
once or twice a year, there are also free
thematic exhibitions in the gallery linking
the two parts of the museum. They provide an
opportunity to display the musée Carnavalet’s
graphic art collections which are not normally
open to the public. These are sometimes linked
to national events such as the Salon du dessin
graphic art fair.
Some exhibitions : Robert Doisneau (1995),
Madame de Sévigné (1996), Chaumet Paris,
two centuries of design (1998), Paris in 3D (2000),
Marcel Proust and his times (2001), Marquet,

Le musée Carnavaletou l’histoire de Paris en héritage Sous ce nom quelque peu énigmatique, se
cache le plus parisien des musées de la capitale.
Doyen des musées municipaux, Carnavalet a pour
vocation de faire connaître l’histoire de Paris,
depuis ses plus lointaines origines (une pirogue
préhistorique date de 4600 avant J.-C.) jusqu’à nos
jours et sous ses aspects les plus divers.
Historique par essence, Carnavalet n’en
demeure pas moins un musée d’art, présentant
essentiellement des œuvres originales, fidèles
au génie propre de Paris.
Le roman de ParisDans un cadre architectural remarquable
(deux hôtels particuliers du Marais), le roman
de Paris se déroule au fil de la centaine de salles
et des jardins colorés où prospèrent quelque
mille espèces végétales.
À travers les décors reconstitués du xvııe au
xxe siècle, le visiteur peut, à l’envi, suivre l’évolution
des intérieurs parisiens, se plonger dans l’histoire
des révolutions – de la Révolution française
à la Commune de Paris –, mais aussi s’immiscer
dans l’intimité de Parisiens illustres : imaginer,
par exemple, la marquise de Sévigné, assise à
son bureau laqué chinois, écrivant sa fameuse
correspondance, ou encore Marcel Proust dans
sa chambre, entre son lit de laiton et sa petite table
couverte de plumes, encre et cahiers…
La proximité des œuvres d’art, l’attachement qui
se crée avec les personnalités des différents milieux
intellectuels, politiques et artistiques de la capitale,
l’émotion suscitée par les scènes historiques, font
toute l’originalité de ce musée d’histoire et lui
confèrent une atmosphère unique, celle de la Ville
lumière à travers les siècles.
Un musée, deux hôtelsL’idée d’un musée consacré à l’histoire de Paris
s’imposa sous le Second Empire, alors qu’une
grande partie du cœur historique de la capitale
disparaissait sous la pioche des démolisseurs.
En 1866, à l’instigation du baron Haussmann,
la municipalité se porta acquéreur de l’hôtel
Carnavalet pour y abriter la nouvelle institution.
L’édifice, bâti en 1548 et remanié au xvııe siècle
par François Mansart, avait été habité, de 1677
à 1696, par Madame de Sévigné.
Le musée ouvrit ses portes en 1880. Agrandi
à plusieurs reprises, il occupe également,
depuis 1989, l’hôtel Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau,
édifice voisin bâti en 1688 par Pierre Bullet. Son
orangerie, l’une des deux dernières subsistant
dans le Marais, restaurée en 2000, abrite les
collections préhistoriques et gallo-romaines.
Des collections à l’infini
Avec près de 600.000 pièces réparties dans
plus de 100 salles, Carnavalet accueille le plus
important ensemble des collections de la Ville
de Paris : des œuvres d’une grande diversité,
où se côtoient vestiges archéologiques,
vues du Paris d’autrefois, maquettes de
monuments anciens, enseignes, ensembles
décoratifs provenant d’édifices disparus,
scènes historiques ou anecdotiques, portraits
de Parisiens illustres, souvenirs d’hommes

célèbres ou témoignages de la vie quotidienne,
ainsi qu’un ensemble unique sur la période
révolutionnaire. Outre les collections exposées
en permanence, le musée conserve également
une collection d’arts graphiques – rassemblant
d’importants fonds de dessins, estampes,
photographies et affiches – ainsi qu’un
remarquable cabinet de numismatique, tous
deux accessibles sur rendez-vous.
Carnavalet, conservatoire des grands décors parisiens Alors que les bâtiments du musée évoquent cinq
siècles d’architecture parisienne, une suite de
décors complets, rapportés d’édifices détruits ou
transformés, présente l’évolution des intérieurs
de la capitale du xvııe au xxe siècle.
Datant du xvııe siècle, les salons dits La Rivière,
prennent valeur de symbole pour avoir été les
premiers décors déplacés puis remontés dans
un musée et ce dès 1878, avant l’invention
des period rooms, et confèrent à Carnavalet
un rôle précurseur dans ce domaine. Ces
boiseries et plafonds peints provenaient de
l’hôtel de la place Royale (actuelle place des
Vosges) que l’abbé La Rivière fit réaménager
par l’architecte François Le Vau et le peintre
Charles Le Brun, lorsqu’il l’acquit en 1652.
Le dernier grand décor installé fut, en 1989,
la spectaculaire salle de bal Art Déco
provenant de l’hôtel de Wendel et peinte
en 1925 par José-Maria Sert (perpétuant ainsi
la tradition et l’originalité de Carnavalet).

Découvrir Paris sous de multiples facettes
Chaque année, plusieurs expositions mettent
en valeur certains aspects de l’histoire de
Paris, en privilégiant un thème, un artiste
ou encore une période historique. Elles
s’inscrivent ainsi en résonance avec la
présentation des collections permanentes.
À ces grandes expositions, organisées une à
deux fois par an, s’ajoutent des « expositions
dossiers » gratuites, dans la galerie de liaison
du musée. Elles permettent de dévoiler les
collections graphiques de Carnavalet, non
accessibles au public. Ces dernières sont parfois
rattachées à des événements nationaux comme
le Salon du dessin.
Quelques expositions : Robert Doisneau (1995),
Madame de Sévigné (1996), Chaumet Paris, deux
siècles de création (1998), Paris en 3D (2000),
Au temps de Marcel Proust (2001), Marquet,
vues de Paris et de l’Île-de-France (2004),
Au temps des Merveilleuses, Paris
sous le Directoire et le Consulat (2005),
Les Parisiennes de Kiraz (2008), Bâtir pour
le roi, Jules Hardouin-Mansart (2009).
