Who is behind this museum ?

The answer is simple and can be found in the name of the museum : Richard Anacréon.

This colorful character was born in Granville in 1907 and became one of the emblematic figures of this city.

A passionate bookseller, he opened in the 1940's his bookstore, which he named l'Originale, in Paris in the Latin district.

Specializing in the sale of books in original edition, he particularly liked to collect the great painters of his time such as Signac, Von Dongen, Derain, Picabia and many others.

His pleasant character and his pronounced taste for art, allowed him to meet many artists and writers, among whom Valéry, Colette, Farrère, or Claudel, Carco and Reverdy were among them.

Richard Anacréon, who was attached to his native town, bequeathed his collection of paintings and books in first editions to Granville, which created a museum in his name.
