"The Attic of a Museum" is an early 19th-century oil on canvas painting by French artist Etienne Bouhot. Completed in 1806, the work depicts the storeroom of a museum filled with an array of diverse artifacts that provide a snapshot of an institution's collection in the Romantic era. Staged in an attic space, the painting clusters various items into an organized disarray, instilling an ambiance of discovery and exploration, indicative of Bouhot’s intention to celebrate knowledge and the wonder of learning.

Painted with precise attention to texture and detail, "The Attic of a Museum" showcases Bouhot's skills in capturing the uniformity and difference of multiple surface types. The painting’s compositional vastness is also a testament to his pictorial talents, along with his adeptness in creating an effective depth of field. The somewhat monochromatic palette underlines the uniformity of the setting, while also subtly conveying the interplay of light and shadow.

Etienne Bouhot was primarily known for his architectural paintings, often focusing on the details of the interiors of buildings. "The Attic of a Museum" is representative of this aspect of his work, with his emphasis on the architectural elements of the storeroom and the way they interact with the objects within. This highly detailed and evocative painting presents an intriguing vignette of museum practices and objects during the 19th century, implicating not just artistic but also historical and anthropological values.

As of today, "The Attic of a Museum" by Etienne Bouhot is housed and exhibited in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, continuing to inspire audiences with its quirky and intimate portrayal of a museum's recesses.
