Atelier Brancusi — Attraction in Paris

L' Atelier Brancusi is a free attraction next to Centre Pompidou and a very good side attraction for anyone with an interest in Brancusi or art/sculptures in general. Opening hours are 2-6pm daily (closed Tuesdays).

Here you find a recreation of Roman sculptor Constantin Brancusi's studio and workshop upon the time of his death in 1957. There are numerous sculptures on display including several renditions of his famous 'Bird In Space' sculpture, amongst numerous other provocative an intriguing works to view and enjoy.

A free museum! And for the better, as it only has a big centered exposition of all of Brâncuşi's artwork. There's a historic of how he came to Paris and the struggles he had to suffer through before he was able to afford his own workshops.

The information is in both french and english, but it was presented very theoretical. Didn't feel like a story was being told. There was not much focus on the great sculptures inside, and there was no mention of anything he did in Romania, prior to coming to Paris.

This isn't his actual workshop, and it discloses it early on. The artwork used to be in open air.

It's a trip worth taking,...
