Musee Jacquemart-Andre Entry Tickets

The museum is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. On Fridays during temporary exhibition periods, hours extend to 10 pm. Last admission is 30 minutes before closing in all cases.

The museum is at 158 Boulevard Haussmann in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, not far from the Champs-Elysees and the department stores on Boulevard Haussmann. Metro Lines 9 and 13 serve Miromesnil or Saint-Augustin stations, both approximately five minutes walk.

Edouard Andre was a wealthy French banker and art collector who built this mansion in the 1870s specifically to house the collection he was assembling. Nelly Jacquemart was a celebrated portrait painter who became his wife. They collected together until their deaths and Nelly bequeathed the house and its entire contents to the Institut de France, stipulating that it be opened to the public as a museum.

The Italian collection is particularly celebrated and includes Paolo Uccello's Saint George and the Dragon, a Botticelli Virgin and Child, works by Giovanni Bellini and Andrea Mantegna, and a ceiling fresco by Giambattista Tiepolo transported from a Venetian palazzo. The Dutch collection includes Rembrandt's Pilgrims of Emmaus. French 18th-century rooms contain works by Fragonard, Boucher, Chardin and David.

The museum's most spectacular single work is a large ceiling fresco by Giambattista Tiepolo that was detached from a 16th-century Venetian palazzo and transported to Paris to be installed on the grand staircase ceiling of the mansion. It depicts Henri III of France's reception in Venice in 1574.

Yes. The museum cafe in the former dining room of the mansion is open to visitors without a museum ticket during cafe hours. It serves teas, lunches and cakes in an extraordinary 19th-century dining room and is considered one of the most atmospheric cafes of any Paris museum.

Photography for personal use is permitted in the permanent collection. Flash photography is not permitted. Photography policies for temporary exhibitions may differ; check with the museum at the time of your visit.

Most visitors spend 1.5 to 2 hours. The mansion is not enormous but the density of significant works in each room rewards unhurried viewing. Adding the temporary exhibition to the permanent collection typically extends a visit to 2.5 to 3 hours.
