Portlligat is a tiny fishermen's village close to the better-known village of Cadaques in Spain. Here, you can visit the home of one of the most iconic modern Spanish artists: Salvador Dalí.

The house was purchased by Dalí in 1930, and he adapted the whitewashed home over the years to suit his needs. It is filled with Dali's books and unique touches which really allows visitors a glimpse into the artist's mind.

The surrounding area is stunning, so it is certainly worth a visit; however, be sure to check out the museum website ahead of time as visits must be booked in advance.

Imagine stepping into Claude Monet's home and visiting his private gardens, which were so clearly an inspiration in his work. Claude Monet's home in Giverny is one of the most well-known artist's house museums, and it is quite special to see where this master spent over forty years of his life.

The house is pristine, and you can imagine Monet sitting down for a bite to eat in his blue kitchen or peering out the windows of his studio into his garden, looking for inspiration.

However, the most impressive part of the museum is the gardens, particularly the Japanese bridge and the water garden, which will transport you into Monet's mind when he was painting. We do have one piece of advice, if you decide you want to visit this spectacular museum, located in Giverny, just an hour north of Paris: make sure to book ahead, as visits are in high demand.

The Blue House was world-famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's home. Kahlo was born in the house located in Mexico City in 1907. She grew up there and it remained in the family during her life. Frida even spent the last 13 years of her life living there.

It was in this historic home that Frida spent two years trapped in her bed following the horrific trolley accident, which would change the entire trajectory of her life and lead her to the arts.

The house shows how bohemian artists of Frida's time lived in Mexico and also features stunning gardens. The Blue House was converted into a museum in 1958 and features plenty of Kahlo's work, clothes, and ,of course, her wheelchair. If you are a fan of the arts and find yourself in Mexico, this is a must-see.

According to the museum's website, Pollock and Krasner saw the house located in the town of Springs while visiting friends who lived not far away. The two artists were able to purchase the home after an art collector gave them a loan for the down payment. Pictured: Jackson's barn studio.

Jackson Pollock eventually turned a barn on the property into a studio and Lee Krasner painted inside the house. Today, the house has been turned into a museum and study centre for aspiring artists. If you want to see where these two artists created their masterpieces, like the other museum homes, you must book ahead. Pictured: the floor in Jackson's studio.

Celebrated American artists Georgia O'Keeffe's home and studio is also a musuem which is located in Abiquíu, New Mexico. The artist lived in the home from 1943 until her death in 1986.

O'Keeffe's home is a mix of architectural styles and includes traditional and modern elements. It stands out for the vast array of windows, allowing plenty of natural light in, which artists like O'Keeffe value greatly. According to the museum's website, O'Keeffe once told the press , "I didn't want a Spanish house; I didn't want an Indian house, [or] a Mexican house; I wanted my house!"

This unique and inspiring house-museum is located 60 miles (95 km) northwest of Santa Fe. The home is open to the public for guided tours seasonally however, reservations must be made in advance.
