What will you see inside the Jacquemart-André Museum?

The architecture of the Jacquemart-André museum is itself considered a work of art. Its designer, Baron Haussmann, is largely responsible for transforming Paris into the beautiful tree-lined city it is today.

The permanent collection is displayed in five distinct sections in the museum.

The State Apartments

From the Picture Gallery to the Dining Room, explore a collection of eclectic paintings, furniture and sculptures. Prominent artists featured in this section include Nattier, Coysevox, Houdon, Fragonard and Tiepolo.

The Informal Apartments

Guardi, Othon, Dubois, and Van Dyck are just a few of the artists you will find in the apartments. Don’t forget to look up, as you might miss Tintoretto's "The dispute of Minerva and Neptune over the founding of Athens," painted on the Smoking Room ceiling.

The Winter Garden and the Staircase

This section of the mansion has been a visitor favorite ever since the house-warming parties held here in the nineteenth century.

Its collection of exotic plants that stretch upwards toward the glass roof and the marble staircase accompanied by a Tiepolo-painted fresco, make it one of the most popular rooms in the mansion.

The Italian Museum

Initially functioning as a workshop for Jacquemart to paint in, the couple transformed these rooms into an ensemble of three Italian galleries. Across the Sculpture Gallery, Florentine Gallery and Venetian Gallery you can find many treasures, such as Paolo Uccello's Saint George and the Dragon.

The Private Apartments

This section contains the most personal rooms in the mansion. You will find the sculptures, paintings, and furniture that Jacquemart and André chose to surround themselves with in their private salas and bedrooms.
