Fodor's Review:

In its turn-of-the-20th-century heyday, the building—now home to Montmartre's historical museum—was a studio block for painters, writers, and cabaret artists. Foremost among them was Renoir—he painted the Moulin de la Galette, an archetypal scene of sun-drenched revelers, while he lived here—and Maurice Utrillo, Montmartre painter par excellence. The museum recaps the area's history; the strong points are the many Toulouse-Lautrec posters and original Eric Satie scores. Temporary exhibitions focus on famous residents like Jean Marais, the late, dashing actor who dabbled in painting and sculpture. Check out the view from the second floor of the tiny vineyard—the only one in Paris—on Rue des Saules. There's some basic info available in English.
