In an effort to consolidate his studies, plans and visual work, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) bequeathed his property to a foundation he had created before his death. The foundation’s aim is to restore and preserve all of the architect’s original notes, documents, designs, etc. and to present them to the public. The foundation owns the apartment on rue Nungesser et Coli, which Le Corbusier occupied from 1933 to 1965.

Delacroix (1798-1863) settled on rue de Furstenberg on December 28, 1857, abandoning his studio on rue Notre-Dame-de-Lorette as it was too far from Saint-Sulpice church; he was hired ten years prior to decorate the church with his brushwork. A national museum since 1971, it holds a varied collection of the artist’s works and private objects, including those exotic ones that he brought back with him from his trips to North Africa.
