The Musée Zadkine is a Paris museum located near the Jardin du Luxembourg. It is a museum dedicated to the naturalized French Russian sculptor Ossip Zadkine (1890-1967), an artist originally close to Cubism, from which he later departed in view of a very strong influence of African Art. The museum was founded in 1982 and built by the sculptor's wife, in the house-atelier where he lived and worked for over 40 years. The collection includes over 300 works by the sculptor, including photographs, drawings, tapestries and watercolors. Thanks to this large amount of works and thanks to their arrangement it is possible to follow the artistic path of Zadkine and the change that occurred in the course of his career. Among the works on display, the famous "Femme à l'éventail", "La mélancolie", "L'hommage à Apollinaire" and "Torse de la Ville détruite", a reduced version of a famous sculpture erected in Rotterdam in 1953 and created by the artist in memory of the German bombing of Rotterdam in 1940. In 2012 the museum was renovated and modernized, with new multimedia devices that enrich and implement the visit.
