Does this place still exist or are these just some old photos from a book?

The photos were taken in 1910/1911 in his "studio" in Paris.
His collection was given to the Smithsonian Institution by his wife in 1921 (2714 items).A big exposition/installation was made from 1922 until 1961.

This woman suffered for so many years.... But still, she waited until her hubby died before the garage sale...
A lesson for our wives.

Just showed these pics to my wife and, unexpectedly, she loved the display.
We have been married for more than 20 years and I never knew that she was an angel.
I am seriously considering buying a stuffed hyppopotamus to decorate our living room.
