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
Definitely worth visiting. By area it’s not huge but the amount of collections is numerous. The pleasant scent in the mansion elevated the tour. There’s some performance presented by actors and actress dressed in costumes delivered in French, which seems very engaging. At my third trip in Paris I finally began to explore places like this that might not be top sought after by tourists yet aesthetically as satisfying.

It’s a nice enough museum, the permanent exhibitions are pleasant and reminded me of a smaller version of the Wallace collection in London. But it was heaving with visitors and the De La Tour exhibit was just too busy to enjoy : you go through a turnstile like on the tube to enter a poky room where loads of people are trying to look at the pieces: impossible to get a good view or enjoy

Visiting Musée Jacquemart-André was an experience in itself, even before looking at a single artwork. The building is absolutely incredible—immaculately preserved, overflowing with detail, grand staircases, soaring ceilings, and richly decorated rooms that feel almost unreal. Walking through it is genuinely mind-blowing.
One of the highlights was an unexpected, wonderful conversation with the staff about art and literature—warm, thoughtful, and deeply engaging. It made the visit feel personal and alive.
The temporary exhibition devoted to Georges de La Tour was, in terms of the work itself, beautiful and truly impressive. The paintings are stunning. The only downside was the crowding: far too many people packed into such a small space, which made it hard to fully absorb the work. Still, between the collection, the architecture, and the human connection, it was a great, great experience overall.

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.

Absolutely stunning house. So many details. There was also an amazing temporary exhibition. It's open until 8 pm, we went at 7 pm and it was still busy! There could be a queue so beware of that.
