The people of Paris in the 19th century

Between celebration and insurrection, the artist’s satires sweep us away in the theatrical whirlwind of the capital’s streets.

This event is over. To find another one in Paris Île-de-France, see the datebook.

From 05 October 2011 To 26 February 2012
Musée Carnavalet


The Musée Carnavalet – Histoire de Paris takes you right to the centre of Parisian social life in the 19th century through the works of Honoré Daumier (1808-1879).

Daumier – the French engraver, caricaturist, painter and sculptor – is a mythical figure in the Parisian imagination.

Through his art tinged with humour and tenderness, he casts a picturesque, amusing, frightening and tragic light on these "little people" in the streets of the capital.

Join him as you delve into the world of the rag-and-bone men, seasonal migrant workers lodging in let rooms, workers in the inner suburbs, ruffians from thugland and their Casque d’Or affair, grisettes, taverns at the barriers, cabaret, accordion dances on the rue de Lappe etc.
