Musée Jacquemart-André, Art museum in 8th arrondissement, France
Musée Jacquemart-André is an art museum housed in a former private mansion on Boulevard Haussmann in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. The rooms spread over two floors with paintings on the walls, 18th-century furniture, and a winter garden with tall palms.
The building was constructed between 1869 and 1875 for banker Édouard André. After his death in 1894, his widow continued the collection and bequeathed the house along with the artworks to the Institut de France, which opened a museum here in 1913.
The name honors Édouard André and his wife Nélie Jacquemart, who lived here and assembled the collection. The couple traveled through Italy and acquired paintings along with sculptures that now hang in the rooms of their former residence.
The house opens daily, with Mondays and some Saturdays offering evening access. The entrance sits directly on Boulevard Haussmann near the Saint-Philippe-du-Roule metro station.
The staircase features a ceiling painting by Tiepolo that originally came from a Venetian palace. The tearoom on the ground floor was once the family's private dining room and retained its original wall panels.
