Musee Bourdelle, Paris

Located in one of the best neighborhoods in Paris that used to be the artists' quarters, this museum is a real hidden gem and one of the few Parisian art studios that are still in place and unchanged from late 19th - early 20th century. Antoine Bourdelle was an amazing sculptor who worked in Auguste Rodin's studio for almost 15 years and later in his life he taught Alberto Giacometti and Henry Matisse. There is a sculpture studio, a painting studio, an exposition in Chronological order and a great hall that includes some of his most famous works. At the end of his life, Antoine Bourdelle planned to turn it into a museum, but it would have probably been destroyed if not for other art lovers' intervenance. Many well known art studios disappeared when the neighborhood was modernised (like for example, Brâncuşi Studio). I think it's one of the most peaceful museums in Paris and definitely special as it is not crowded and you can have your time to admire the art and understand it's history and meaning, or simply be in a contemplative state of mind as you are surrounded by nature and sculptures.
