Chana Orloff & the Chana Orloff Ateliers-museum in a few words

Born in 1888 in southeastern Ukraine, eighth of a Jewish family of nine children, Chana Orloff arrived in Paris in 1910 to learn sewing. She would become a major sculptor of the 20th century. Her path will cross that of Modigliani, Soutine and artists from Montparnasse and the School of Paris.

Her ateliers, built for her by Auguste Perret, Villa Seurat in Paris, bring together nearly 200 of her sculptures.

The Ateliers-Museum is open to visits every weekend by reservation and during cultural events.
