Degas House is the only home and studio of the French Impressionist Master anywhere in the world, open to the public! The Degas House is proud that we have recently been declared a French Landmark by the French Ministry of Culture. The French Ambassador to the United States, Philippe Etienne presented this marker of distinction on July 15, 2019.  This prestigious award, the Maisons des Illustres (meaning 'House of the Illustrious') puts the Degas House in the company of the houses of Napoleon, Joan of Arc, the Chateau of Monte Cristo, Eric Satie, Ravel, Jules Verne, and a host of other luminaries throughout history. There are 245 homes in this collection, with four being outside the French territories including two in the United States, of which the Degas House is one. We are celebrating 27 years in business and we are able to host large events and groups with a capacity at 500 guests.
