Musée Pasteur

About

The Pasteur Museum was opened to the public in 1935 at the Institut Pasteur at 25 rue du Docteur-Roux, in the Necker district of the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The building was classified as historical monuments in 1981. The museum originated in a family donation in the 1930s.

Professor Louis Pasteur Vallery-Radot, grandson of the scholar Louis Pasteur, anxious to perpetuate the spirit of the place by reconstructing the apartment in its initial layout, donated to the Institut Pasteur all the furniture and objects that belonged to his grandparents. The apartments of Monsieur and Madame Louis Pasteur are remarkably preserved and also offer a perfect historical testimony of Parisian bourgeois habitation at the end of the 19th century. The museum is closed for work.

The reopening is planned for 2027.
