From poem to novel, from lyrical to epic, Victor Hugo did it all, wrote it all and made us feel it all. Fortunately, the sensitivity of a writer does not disappear when his works are closed... The proof is with this sprawling exhibition developed around 230 masterpieces inherent to the French genius. From a charcoal drawing of a frenzied Esmeralda to the portrait of an abandoned Fantine, from a caricature by Daumier to the private correspondence of the novelist, the Maison Victor Hugo celebrates the 120^{e{6 }} anniversary of the author of Misérables by bringing his most illustrious characters back to life. Paintings, prints, pieces of furniture, textiles and manuscripts follow one another here to celebrate the pen of a great poet and pay homage to the unique character of his monumental work. Between the canvases of Henri Fantin-Latour and the nudes of Jean-Jacques Henner, emerges the portrait of an immortal Victor Hugo who, by his style and his commitment, still remains today one of the greatest sources of inspiration for new generations. In the privacy of his apartments, the exhibition thus opens a new chapter in its history, as if Victor Hugo's work were forever eternal.
