The Jacquemart-André Museum is a mansion museum on Boulevard Haussmann, built from the private home and collection of Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart. It is one of the best Paris museums for seeing art in the setting it was meant to flatter: salons, staircases, winter garden, and dining rooms arranged as a statement of taste.
The collection is strongest in Italian Renaissance painting, French 18th-century art, and the atmosphere of wealthy Belle Époque Paris. It is less overwhelming than the Louvre and more intimate than the Musée d'Orsay, making it a strong choice when you want a museum that still feels like a house.
