Hi there, my name is Pamela, and I am an Italian Art Historian. I'm a professor of art history, with a PhD in history and theories of arts (Paris 8 University), and I have lived in Paris since 2012. Currently, I am a professor of art history at the University of Architecture (ENSAPB) of Paris-Belleville. Since 2013, I've been an affiliated researcher at the University of Paris 8, specialising in modern and contemporary art, the history of art collections, and museum architecture. In the past 14 years, I have been a researcher at the Pompidou Centre and a lecturer in art history at various Parisian Universities, including Paris 8 University, the National Institute of Art History (INHA), and the School of Architecture Paris-Malaquais. As an art historian and museum guide, I have organised visits to the most important Parisian museums, galleries, and foundations (Louvre, Orsay, Pompidou, Louis Vuitton Fondation, Palais de Tokyo, Musée Rodin . . . ), I've participated in many international conferences, and I've published three books and several scientific papers. With my students and my travellers, we have experienced art differently. I pursue an active pedagogy to foster creative vision and to accompany viewers during their encounter with art. Art must be lived, touched, and listened to through a visual and spatial experience. Visiting a museum doesn't just mean seeing a set of artworks; it is rather a matter of understanding its history, its soul, its relationship with space, and with you. So, come visit the most beautiful Parisian museums with me and enjoy art as you never have before! ------------ PhD in Art History - Paris 8 University (2015) Master's in History and Criticism of Art - Milan University (2011) Bachelor's in Theory and Practice of Contemporary Artistic Languages - Academy of Fine Arts in Bergamo - IT (2004-2008) Bachelor's in Theory and Practices of Conservation and Restoration - "Lorenzo Lotto" Private School, Bergamo - IT (2004) ------------ Qualified for Associate Professorship in History of Art, Visual Arts, and Architecture (2016-2019) Awarded “APAHAU for Young Researchers in History of Art” (2016) National Licensed Guide Card by Ministère de la Culture (2014) Member AAH – Association for Art History – London (2014-/) Member RSA - Renaissance Society America (2017-/) ------------ Affiliated Researcher - Lab.

Paris is home to an extensive array of museums, many of which are charming hidden gems often overlooked. These remarkable places celebrate art, architecture, and design, and many were once owned by writers or painters. Today, they preserve their original layouts as their owners intended, offering a glimpse into the past. They house exceptional collections of French, Italian art, and furniture, among others. These intimate, undiscovered treasures are worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime. I have my personal favourites, and here is a list. - Jeacquemart-André Museum - Gustav Moreau Museum - Victor Hugo House - Delacroix's House/Studio The tour doesn't include all 4 places; instead, it includes 1 of your choice. *Please contact me before booking. Museum opening days may vary, so it's best to check availability.
The tour offers a fascinating glimpse into the building's rich history and showcases the permanent collection from one of the four museums you choose. Depending on which museum you select, your experience will vary: - Jeacquemart-André: Here, you'll enjoy an impressive collection of Italian medieval and Renaissance art, along with the elegant residence built by its owners in the 19th century. - Gustav Moreau: Step into the home of this 19th-century master, known as the father of symbolism. Discover its impressive architecture, his numerous artworks, and his studio. - Victor Hugo: This house is a gem! It offers an immersive experience into the writer's life and surroundings, with detailed displays of his works, furniture, and their presentation. - Delacroix's House/Studio: Explore the artist's residence, his studio, lush garden, and his paintings.
