Musée Jacquemart-André

The Musée Jacquemart-André, located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, is a private museum that was once the home of Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart. This couple, renowned for their art collection, transformed their mansion into a museum to display their extensive collection of Italian and French art. The museum, which opened to the public in 1913, is divided into five sections: the State Apartments, the informal Apartments, the Winter Garden, the Italian Museum, and the Private Apartments. Each section showcases different aspects of the couple's collection and their personal lives. The Italian Museum, for example, houses a remarkable collection of 15th and 16th-century Italian sculptures and paintings. The museum's collection includes works by renowned artists such as Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Canaletto. The mansion itself, designed by architect Henri Parent, is a masterpiece of 19th-century architecture. The Musée Jacquemart-André offers visitors a unique glimpse into the lives of two passionate art collectors and their impressive collection.
