Review:
The Museum of Voltaire is housed in the lovely historic home (Les Délices or The Delights) of the famous philosopher and author, which was acquired by him in 1755. Today the home is both a research center and a museum dedicated to The Age of Enlightenment and Voltaire’s life. The beautiful building was extensively renovated in 1994 and you will be able to see a large permanent collection of paintings and manuscripts as well as furniture belonging to Voltaire which is realistically displayed as if the philosopher had just left the room. The Museum area is open to the public from Monday to Saturday from 2pm to 5pm. The Institute’s extensive reference library of scholarly works and sheet music can be viewed by appointment.
