}}The '''Musée Bourdelle''' ({{lang-en|Bourdelle Museum}}) is an art museum located at 18, rue Antoine Bourdelle, in the [[15th arrondissement of Paris]], [[France]], located in the old studio of French sculptor [[Antoine Bourdelle]] (1861&ndash;1929).<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Museum, unique exhibition areas {{!}} Musée Bourdelle|url=https://www.bourdelle.paris.fr/en/museum-unique-exhibition-areas|access-date=2020-09-28|website=www.bourdelle.paris.fr}}</ref> The museum is open daily, except Mondays.

The museum preserves the studio of sculptor [[Antoine Bourdelle]] and provides an example of Parisian [[wikt:atelier|ateliers]] from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was Bourdelle's active studio from 1885–1929. In 1922, heBourdelle began plans to turn his studio into a museum;. inIn the early 1930s, [[Gabriel Cognacq]] provided funds to purchase the studio and thus avoid dispersing the artist's remaining works. The museum was inaugurated in 1949, and expanded in 1961 by architect [[Henri Gautruche]], and again in 1992 by [[Christian de Portzamparc]]. A second Bourdelle garden-museum, in [[Égreville]], was established by his heirs in the late 1960s. It hosts another 56 of his sculptures.
 
Today the museum contains more than 500 works including marble, plaster, and bronze statues, paintings, pastels, fresco sketches, and Bourdelle's personal collection of works by artists including [[Eugène Carrière]], [[Eugène Delacroix]], [[Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres]], [[Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli]], [[Pierre Puvis de Chavannes]], and [[Auguste Rodin]]. It contains the original plaster casts of some of his finest works including 21 studies of [[Ludwig van Beethoven]], as well as document archives and his copies of Greek and [[medieval]] works.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Le sublime Musée Bourdelle rouvre ses portes !
