The Museum was created in 1960 in one of the Hill's oldest buildings, constructed in the 17th century: "Bel Air". Surrounded by gardens, it was the creative home of artists such as Auguste Renoir, Émile Bernard, Raoul Dufy, Charles Camoin, Suzanne Valadon and Maurice Utrillo.
The Musée de Montmartre is also devoting a retrospective exhibition to Auguste Herbin (1882-1960). This is the first Parisian museum to devote a retrospective exhibition to this artist, in the city where he created all his life. It retraces the painter's seven creative periods, with works that are often previously unseen: postimpressionism, fauvism, cubism, monumental objects, new figuration, first and second abstraction. Here, Herbin regains his rightful place in the history of modern art, revealing works of the highest quality from each of his creative periods.
