Museum Paul Delouvrier
About This Museum
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Évry, near the cathedral, the Musée Paul Delouvrier is a real surprise. It feels less like a formal museum and more like stepping into a series of beautifully curated rooms dedicated to the soul of Africa, with a particularly deep affection for Ethiopia. You'll find everything from ancient processional crosses and vibrant liturgical textiles to striking contemporary paintings that speak to modern themes. It’s a place that connects continents, right here in our own backyard.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate Ethiopian silver talismans and hand-woven ceremonial garments, which are simply stunning. The collection of wooden headrests showcases incredible craftsmanship, while the modern art pieces provide a powerful, contemporary counterpoint.
Visitor Information
It's a wonderfully intimate space, perfect for a quiet afternoon. Pop in after admiring the cathedral next door—you'll be glad you did.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, unassuming building that blends with the residential area, its modest exterior belies the treasures within.
