On the ground floor, you will find small rooms filled with Moreau’s detailed drawings and sketches, many of which were inspired by Italian masters. Moving to the first floor, the preserved living quarters reveal the personal side of the artist, while the upper floors showcase larger studio spaces where nearly one hundred paintings, mostly unfinished, and almost five thousand drawings come to life. Notable works on display include The Apparition, Jupiter and Semele, Chimera, and The Return of the Argonauts.
