Maison familiale d'Henri Matisse

About

Henri Matisse House is a municipal museum, located in Bohain-en-Vermandois, Aisne, France, founded in 2008 in Henri Matisse's childhood home. The Matisse family, parents and Henri Matisse newborn, arrived in this house in early January 1870. Henri Matisse left Bohain 20 years later.

The project to open this structure was born in 2004, when the house was bought by the General Council of the Aisne, which decided to study the possibility of transforming this place into a memorial museum and public reception structure. The renovations began in 2006 and ended in early 2008. The Maison Matisse was inaugurated in early February 2008, and opened its doors to the public that same month.

She was also labeled Maisons des Illustres in 2012.
