The Musée Jacquemart-André is a haven of peace hidden away on Boulevard Haussmann, in the village of Monceau. You have to dare to go through the gate, along a passageway and into a store to enter the former estate of Nélie Jacquemart and Edouard André, heir to a family of bankers and a great art lover.
Together, they had built up a fine art collection, with paintings, sculptures, tapestries and objets d'art from the 18th century, but also Italian paintings, from primitive art to the Renaissance, Nélie's whim.
And to showcase this collection, they decided to build a townhouse, designed in seven years by Henri Parent to a very classical, perfectly symmetrical model. Even back then, their home was used to display their art collection at lavish parties and social gatherings.
Masterpieces by Bellini, Botticelli, Donatello, Uccello, Nattier, Vigée-Lebrun, Chardin, Fragonard and David are displayed in grand salons, deliberately left untouched to reflect the worldly life of the Jacquemart-André family.
The Salon des Peintures showcases a magnificent series of paintings. The rotunda-shaped Grand Salon features a series of busts by the greatest sculptors of the 18th century. The Salon de Musique was transformed into a ballroom on concert evenings. An area of seven small rooms serves as a venue for the two or three temporary exhibitions presented each year.
Above all, the Musée Jacquemart-André wanted to take the couple's private apartments, with Madame's bedroom, Monsieur's antechamber and Monsieur's bedroom and en suite bathroom, on a journey back in time. Even the dining room, with its Tiepolo-painted ceiling and tapestries, offers a glimpse into the life of the collector couple.
Today, you can enjoy lunch or a snack in the tea room, with its unobstructed view over the courtyard. A must-see in Paris!
