The Jacquemart-André museum closes its doors for one year from August 2023

The Jacquemart-André Museum is one of the most beautiful museums in Paris, yet it remains less well known than its colleagues the Louvre, the Orsay Museum or the Pompidou Center. Nestled in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, this private museum houses the private collection of the Jacquemart-André couple : there are some treasures signed Uccello, Mantegna, Botticelli, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Fragonard, Reynolds...

One can admire mainly the works of French, Italian and Flemish painters, but also some paintings and sculptures of English and Dutch artists. The Jacquemart-André museum belongs to the Institut de France, which has entrusted its operation to the Culturespace group, which also owns theAtelier des Lumières in Paris.

This museum makes us dream with its paintings and sculptures of art, but also with its temporary exhibitions that allow us to (re)discover great artists.
