This museum is a real hidden treasure of Paris which is not to be missed. It has a permanent art collection, including furniture and painting from 17th Century and also some temporary exhibitions as the one I saw, from Romanian Museum Bruckenthal in Sibiu, a great Van Eyck, Breugel & Memling. Not to mention the architecture, which I think is... more

The art is really interesting and they have the most wonderful temporary exhibitions, but the highlight is the restaurant! We queued for an age to get in to it but it was well worth the time. The service is great but the food is to die for. Fresh, imaginative, beautifully served. I'm not usually a 'dessert person' but the temptation... more

No, it isn't quite as good as the Frick in New York or the Wallace in London, but this is a great little museum that far too many people overlook. Like the Frick and Wallace, the structure was built to be a house for a wealthy family, which collected art and eventually turned it into a museum. The individual works... more

What makes this barely known museum so special is the unique combination of superb architecture (the building is a work of art), period furniture and fabulous artworks. From Tintoretto to Rembrandt and the walls that move this is an exceptional place and a must see after you do all the usual tourist spots. It is the former home and art... more

A great choice for the days when all the "big" museums are closed, and a relief after the day long visits to the majors (Louvre, etc.) Very manageable size and terrific audio guide. It's unusual to be able to see a personal collection in its original setting and the collection is fantastic. Worth the trip to see, but kids probably... more

This amazing museum is at the same time a wonderfull typical parisian "hotel particulier" and one of the best collection af italian renaissance in Paris. In the place you can discover Bottecelli and Bellini paintings and the most beautiful winter garden on Paris where rich people enjoyed partying in the late XIXth century. Nelie Jacquemart and her husband Edouard Andre... more

An excellent audioguide leads visitors through this tremendous home and affords a great appreciation for the couple's life, their art collection and the building's beautiful architecture and decor. Allow at least an hour to browse and fully appreciate. We saw plenty of art and museums in our two weeks in France, and yet still found this somewhat off-the-beaten-path visit worth... more

We only had a few hours in Paris in transit and I wanted to see one new (to me) museum, so chose this one. My partner is not as interested in painting and art as I am, but liked this museum. The building, the art collectors' personal home and the collections of artifacts delighted my partner, and I liked the... more
