Musée Maillol

Musée Maillol is a Paris museum centred on the works of sculptor Aristide Maillol and the collection assembled by his model and patron Dina Vierny. It presents a permanent collection of Maillol’s sculptures and drawings alongside rotating temporary exhibitions.

The museum occupies a townhouse-style building on the Rive Gauche and arranges galleries for Maillol’s figurative sculpture as well as spaces for contemporary shows. Exhibitions alternate between the permanent holdings and loaned works, making the programme varied across visits.

The institution was created to preserve and display Maillol’s output and to stage complementary exhibitions; it is a focused museum rather than a large encyclopedic collection. It is sited in central Paris’s 7th arrondissement within walking distance of other cultural sites.

The museum address places it on Paris’s left bank close to central landmarks, making it easily reachable by public transport and on pedestrian routes through the area.

• Collection focus: Founded around the collection assembled by Dina Vierny, the museum centres on Maillol's sculpture and related works while hosting temporary exhibitions.
• Practical note: Located on Paris's left bank, the museum is compact and often combined with visits to other central institutions in the 7th arrondissement.
