Jacquemart-Andre Museum
Jacquemart-Andre Museum showcases the extensive and valuable art collections of husband and wife, Nelie Jacquemart and Edouard Andre
The 8th arrondissement of Paris is home to one of the most notable and opulent public Museums in France. The Jacquemart-Andre Museum showcases the extensive and valuable art collections of husband and wife, Nelie Jacquemart and Edouard Andre. The museum has been open to the public for more than nine decades. The grand setting and breath-taking pieces of art present more than enough reason to pay a visit to the museum.
Wealthy art enthusiast Edouard Andre spent quite a bit of his fortune on amassing an impressive art collection. He married a portrait painter by the name of Nelie Jacquemart and the couple shared the same insatiable appetite for acquiring priceless pieces of art. The couple frequently travelled to Italy in order to buy valuable pieces of art. After the death of Edouard Andre in 1894, Nelie Jacquemart completed their collection with some Oriental works of art and then, on her death, donated the mansion, their private residence, the museum and the art therein to the Institut de France. In doing so, they have given a great gift to the public and forever immortalizing their names and passion for the arts. The Jacquemart-Andre Museum displays the sum of their individual collections consisted of paintings, sculptures and antique furnishings.
During a trip to the Museum you will want to cover the five main parts. The informal apartments, the state apartments, the private apartments, the winter garden as well as the Italian museum form the 5 main parts of the Jacquemart-Andre Museum. Needless to say, visitors should not expect to quickly pop in and out of this museum. Make sure that you allocate an adequate amount of time in your itinerary to this excursion in order to truly absorb all the fine pieces of art and architecture on this site.

Jacquemart-Andre Museum Reviews
Rated out of 5
A wonderful private mansion with one of the best private collections of Italian art outside Italy. It has been gifted to the nation. Built at the time of the redesign of Paris this extraordinary place has two floors of works decor and furnishings that are beautiful. The rich husband and wife were avid collectors and travelled many times a year to procure works. The app is great. No need to get the audio guide. Also the signage near each of the works is good. Mostly in French but some English translations too.

Tickets are a bit pricey (17€ avg). But it's worth it, the museum is great, there's a nice souvenir shop with pretty cups and notebooks. There is a beautiful restaurant inside where you can have lunch as well. The exhibition is very interesting and well done.

A petite bijoux museum. Double the pleasure when there is a special exhibition on as the museum in itself – a late 19th century hôtel particulier (private noble residence) – is an historic landmark and treasure chest of furniture and artworks. Incredible setting, set back in a gardened courtyard (cour) off busy Boulevard Haussmann. Allow at least 2 hours to visit and wallow a bit in the atmosphere and art.

Wow! What a gorgeous mansion! The icing on the cake was it wasn’t too crowded. The art, architecture and furniture all came together to really give you the chance to see life for the .0001 percent in France at the turn of century. They were having a special exhibition of Artemis that also included a several paintings by her father. It all made it a remarkable experience!

This small, intimate museum is currently hosting an amazing special exhibit from the House of Borghese in Rome, showcasing works by classical Italian masters. Advance tickets are highly recommended. If you can't get them, be prepared to wait in line; my wait was about an hour.
