Museum Hector-Berlioz

Housed in the house where the great Romantic musician was born in La Côte Saint-André, the Hector Berlioz Museum evokes his life and work. Born on 11 December 1803, Hector Berlioz received an education from his father marked by the ideas of an enlightened 18th-century doctor. It was here that he discovered music and composed his first romances at an early age. At the age of 18 he left his native land, to which he would always remain attached, to live in Paris and devote himself fully to his musical vocation. Period furniture, original scores, correspondence and musical instruments that once belonged to Hector Berlioz, paintings and engravings adorn the rooms of the house, which have retained their original décor. Regular temporary exhibitions add to the cultural programme, while the auditorium offers an opportunity to listen to the composer's works.
