This exhibition allows to discover or rediscover this major collection of Rimbaldian poetry and founder of contemporary poetry. Like all of Rimbaud’s texts, he was admired by many artists who then wanted to illustrate him. On the occasion of this anniversary, a selection of illustrations from the collections of the Arthur Rimbaud Museum, mostly never presented to the public, is on display.

The House where Madame Rimbaud moved in 1869 is now open to the public. For six years, until 1875, the four children Rimbaud and their mother lived on the first floor. This house is very significant because it corresponds exactly to the period of poetic creation. Arthur Rimbaud lived here between the ages of 15 and 21, when he attended the nearby college, and then when he left and ran away. Today the «Maison des Ailleurs» must evoke this poetic effervescence and the incessant departures to the cities and regions that fascinated Arthur Rimbaud. Opened in October 2004, this house is today entirely inhabited by visual and sound evocations that contribute to give life to it. The public finds there an empty house of any reconstitution but full of images evocative of the poetic dimension. Today nine rooms are dedicated to this evocation in a house that remained what it was in the nineteenth century; the stairs, the coatings, some fragments of painted paper contribute to restore the memory of
