Want to spend some fun family time together? Immerse yourself in the artistic world of Alfred Boucher, a renowned artist who was showered with honors, but is largely unknown today. The museum pays tribute to this sculptor, who was Camille Claudel’s first teacher. Come and enjoy an immersive experience with your partner, family or friends.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be charmed by the friendly atmosphere. Let yourself be guided through the exhibition, which brings together some 130 works of sculpture, paintings, drawings and ceramics donated by Alfred Boucher to the town of Nogent-sur-Seine at the dawn of the 20th century, a collection taken from the museum’s reserves and entirely restored for the occasion.
Inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the intimacy of the sculptor’s studio, the scenography is freely inspired by the jumble that reigned there, known thanks to a series of restored and digitized stereoscopic photographs.
Come and discover this unique space and let yourself be transported into the world of Alfred Boucher, for an unforgettable experience!

MUSEE CAMILLE CLAUDEL
Camille Claudel was living in Nogent-sur-Seine when, still a teenager, she affirmed her vocation as an artist.
There she met the sculptor Alfred Boucher who understood her exceptional talent and was able to advise her in her apprenticeship, first in Nogent-sur-Seine and then in Paris.
Today, the house in which she lived forms a wing of the vast building that houses the museum.
Forty-five works by Camille Claudel allow visitors to discover all the stages and facets of her artistic career. They follow a group of 150 sculptures representative of the very rich production of her time, from Alfred Boucher to Auguste Rodin, via Paul Dubois and Antoine Bourdelle.
This perspective shows the extent to which Camille Claudel was part of her time while at the same time standing out in a profoundly original way.
Throughout the year, the museum offers a rich program of temporary exhibitions, conferences, events, guided tours and modeling workshops for families and young people.
