The Nuit des Musées returns this Saturday, May 17, 2025. This Europe-wide cultural event invites us to rediscover our heritage in a new light, through a program of exceptional nocturnes, free visits and unusual activities awaiting us in participating castles, museums, monuments and institutions. Paris and the whole of the Île-de-France region are determined to unveil their finest treasures on this occasion, and promise us an eventful edition for the curious and the passionate. As you can see, this is an event not to be missed.
While Paris has a knack for attracting all eyes, the region also has plenty to offer heritage lovers. In particular, there are many artists' houses that plunge us into the world of these outstanding personalities. This time, we're heading for the Seine-et-Marne department, and more specifically Vulaines-sur-Seine, to discover the Musée départemental Stéphane Mallarmé, dedicated to the French poet and awarded the "Maison des Illustres" label.
Free admission to the museum's exhibition and collections & illuminated garden at Mallarmé's!
Saturday, May 17, 2025 from 7pm to 11pm
For this special evening, come and discover the Musée Stéphane-Mallarmé as you've never seen it before, free of charge!
Nestling on the banks of the Seine, facing the Fontainebleau forest, the museum is the former summer home of the man who was one of the greatest poets of French literature.
His world is faithfully recreated through his writings, furniture, objects, souvenirs and the works of some of his most famous 19th-century artist friends.
The temporary exhibition "Between River and Flowers", which highlights the poet's deep attachment to nature, will be freely accessible, as will the garden, so dear to Mallarmé, specially illuminated for Museum Night.
