About
The Musée Jacquemart-André is a museum housed in an elegant 19th-century mansion at 158 Boulevard Haussmann, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. It is set in the Île-de-France region, and the building itself is a large part of the experience: visitors move through rooms that were arranged as a private home rather than a gallery.
The museum shows the private art collection of Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart. Their holdings focus on two periods, Italian Renaissance art and French 18th-century art, so a visit gives a clear sense of how a collector of that era chose and displayed works.
What a visit offers
- The mansion: a 19th-century townhouse with rooms of different character, which suits visitors interested in domestic interiors as well as paintings.
- Italian Renaissance art: works from the collection that show the depth of the couple's taste for that period.
- French 18th-century art: a second strand of the collection, offering a contrast in style and subject.
Planning your trip
The museum is a good choice for a visit of a few hours, especially if you enjoy seeing art in its original setting. Boulevard Haussmann is a central, well-connected part of Paris, so the museum fits easily into a day spent around the city's grand avenues and shopping streets.
