Maillol Museum, Paris

The owner of the elegant 18th-century hôtel, Dina Vierny, was Aristide Maillol's (1861-1944) model over a period of ten years. She opened this museum in 1995 to exhibit his works, which include drawings, prints, sculptures, paintings and sketches. Among the paintings is the delectable Jeune Fille au chapeau noir ("Girl wearing black hat"). The museum also exhibits works by Matisse, Bonnard, Picasso, Rodin, Gauguin, Degas and Cezanne, as well as surprising surrealist works such as Marcel Duchamp's Urinoirs (Urinals) and Roues de Bicyclette (Bicycle Wheels).
