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.

Rated out of 5
Delicious museum-mansion with a garden and a restaurant to enjoy a meal, tea, whatever you want. Exhibits are interesting and the interior of the house is precious, majestic and spotless. Unlike other museums in Paris, it's not crowded, you can walk around in silence. The boutique it's well arranged, very elegant. There is a nice terrace in the garden. Some days there are jazz events.

Musée Jacquemart-André is, without doubt, my favorite museum in Paris. The mansion itself is stunning, with its grand staircase, elegant salons, and the feeling of stepping back into refined 19th-century Parisian life. The permanent collection is impressive, blending fine art with decorative pieces in a way that feels intimate and personal. I visited during the special exhibition of Georges de La Tour, and it was absolutely captivating — beautifully curated and deeply moving. A museum that combines beauty, history, and atmosphere so perfectly deserves every recommendation.

My favorite museum/collection of all time. One can see the smartly decorated interior, tastefully selected paintings of famous artists and some sculptures. They have a student or under 25 years old discount for all (not just EU residents) and an app with the descriptions of each room and some paintings. It was not packed so you can just explore in silence. Very beautiful place to take photos of. The only part missing was the explanations on the paintings of some ceilings. The staff is very helpful as well. Plus there is an AI photo machine in the cloakroom that turns you into a painting. Overall 10/10.
(In the music room, there are 5 portraits, the one in center looks to the room and other 4 portraits surrounding the one at the center look towards the center painting. If done on purpose, it is very clever)
