This late 19th-century museum, built originally as a hotel, features displays of arts from the Italian Rennaisance and 18th-century France. Built by Edouard André and his wife Nélie Jacquemart, both avid art collectors, in the new Paris being laid out by Baron Haussmann towards the end of the 19th century, this private mansion offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a wealthy 19th century home, with its state rooms, monumental staircase, winter garden, private apartments, reception areas and more.

When Edouard André was forming his collection of 18th century French paintings, the period was staging a comeback and collectors everywhere felt they had to include some in their collection. Edouard André demonstrated sure judgement and enlightened taste, as he built up an extensive collection of masterpieces by the likes of Nattier, Vigée-Lebrun, Fragonard or David.

Visitors to the Musée Jacquemart-André are invited to discover such treasures in an authentic mansion just a stone’s throw from the Champs Elysées. The museum, café, bookstore, and gift shop are open daily.
