An intimate, historic gem to discover in the heart of Paris' 14th arrondissement.
The Ateliers-Musée Chana Orloff present an exhibition devoted to the way the artist experienced and depicted the conflicts of the 20th century. Entitled War and Peace, the exhibition explores a central yet little-known aspect of Chana Orloff’s work: her way of confronting, through sculpture, the violence of history.
Born in 1888 in southeastern Ukraine, eighth of a Jewish family of nine children, Chana Orloff arrived in Paris in 1910 to learn sewing. She would become a major sculptor of the 20th century. Her path will cross that of Modigliani, Soutine and artists from Montparnasse and the School of Paris.
Her ateliers, built for her by Auguste Perret, Villa Seurat in Paris, bring together nearly 200 of her sculptures.
The Ateliers-Museum is open to visits every weekend by reservation and during cultural events.
Discover one of Paris’s hidden gems, the Atelier-Museum of Chana Orloff, a unique modernist house designed by Auguste Perret, tucked away in the charming Villa Seurat.
The Atelier-Museum is open to the public for guided tours and self-guided visits on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
English guided tours are available on Saturday at 5:00 PM.
