with Russell Kelley

Explore the fascinating evolution of Paris’s most iconic museums in this engaging three-part illustrated lecture series. Discover how the city’s first major museums were born – from the upheaval of the French Revolution and the passions of private collectors – and how they’ve transformed over time. Topics include, in chronological order, the Revolutionary Museums (especially the Louvre), the History Museums (Versailles, Carnavalet), the Collectors’ Museums (Cluny, Guimet, Condé), the House Museums (Jacquemart-André, Camondo), the Presidential Museums (Pompidou, Orsay, Branly), and the Private Museums (Cartier, Louis-Vuitton, Pinault). Join Russell Kelley for a cultural journey through the institutions that helped shape – and preserve – France’s extraordinary heritage.
