Jules Verne Museum

Maison de Jules Verne
France, Anmien
Jules Verne lived in the house at 2 rue Charles-Dubois from 1882 to 1900. Now there is a museum telling about the life, work and social activities of the writer, who wrote more than thirty novels here.
The house was built in 1854 for the Amiens notary Jean-Baptiste-Gustave Riquier. The first floor of the house was reserved for bedrooms. The office was located on the second floor.
In 1882, Jules Verne and his wife Honorine moved into this house. They were tenants until 1900. Jules Verne was 54 years old at the time and at the peak of his fame.
In 1980, the city of Amiens purchased and opened this house to the public. In 2000, the city acquired a collection of 30,000 original works assembled by Italian collector Piero Gondolo della Riva. Since 2011, Jules Verne's house has been managed by the Amiens Metropole Library. That same year he received the label "Maisons des Illustres".

The museum is located in the house where Jules Verne and his wife Honorina spent the best years of their lives from 1882 to 1900. But his spirit is still felt here, it seems that he just left for a while, and you were transported here in a time machine. A winter garden, a dining room and a smoking room, a study and a library with more than 12.000 books, a spiral staircase, a real map on which the route of a trip around the world in 80 days was drawn up by the hand of Jules Verne, as well as an interesting attic and much more.
