There are over 200 museums in Paris! We're often familiar with the most famous: the Louvre, the Centre Pompidou, the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Carnavalet, the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle... These are extraordinary institutions, of course, but they somewhat overshadow more confidential but equally magnificent museums.
That's what the Journées du Patrimoine are all about! This cultural event opens the doors of many historic and cultural sites throughout France. It's a great opportunity to discover hidden and little-known nuggets close to home. In Paris, you can visit the Musée National Jean-Jacques Henner, in the 17th arrondissement, free of charge.
The museum is dedicated to the painter Jean-Jacques Henner, and features some 300 works of art, furniture and antiques, tracing both the life and career of the Parisian artist. This two-storey mansion, located just off the Parc Monceau, gives us a glimpse into the painter 's daily life and society in the 19th century. If you've never visited this charming museum, make the most of the Heritage Days!
