I visited last year and had to be practically dragged out. Of course I want to live there! Also, to wear only Fortuny gowns. Glorious, unexpected museum that feels like a secret.

Your piece grabbed my attention of course with the photo of the BOOKS! What a fabulous space to live and work. Yes, I'd move in immediately, and also never leave Venice! Thank you for sharing such a vivid look at the artist AND the space! Wonderful!

Thank you Jim!! No surprise, the library was my favorite room, too. ❤️

Gosh I wish we had known of this place when we visited many years ago. What a wonderful experience that would have been, and those gowns, absolutely stunning!

The gowns are so beautiful - and very valuable if you happen to stumble across one these days!

Simply wonderful. I’ve never heard of that museum!

Proust mentions Fortuny gowns often. Thanks for this visual feast.

Thank you - especially since this comment made me realize that I typed "Mariano Fortuny" instead of "Marcel Proust" on one of the quotes!
