Start in the State Apartments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Picture Gallery introduces the formal reception rooms with paintings and decorative works by artists including Boucher, Chardin, Canaletto and Nattier. It leads into the semicircular Grand Salon, where movable partitions once joined three rooms for large receptions. The red-walled Music Room completes the sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Picture-Gallery.jpg\" alt=\"Gilded Picture Gallery lined with paintings at Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9\" class=\"wp-image-8861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Picture-Gallery.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Picture-Gallery-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Picture-Gallery-768x366.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Picture Gallery leads into the mansion\u2019s formal State Apartments.

Beyond it, mirrors, marble, iron and bronze amplify the curves of a monumental double-helix staircase. At the top, a large Giambattista Tiepolo fresco depicts Henri III\u2019s reception at the Contarini villa; the couple purchased it in Veneto in 1893 and installed it in the mansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"italian-museum\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Its Sculpture Gallery includes Renaissance works, while the Florentine Gallery brings together religious panels and furnishings in a chapel-like setting. Look for Paolo Uccello\u2019s <em>Saint George and the Dragon<\/em>, Botticelli\u2019s <em>The Flight into Egypt<\/em>, Donatello\u2019s <em>Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian<\/em> and works associated with Perugino.

In 1869, he commissioned architect Henri Parent to design a mansion on the newly created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/boulevard-haussmann\/\">Boulevard Haussmannien<\/a>. Parent completed the building in 1876, combining a classical fa\u00e7ade with theatrical reception spaces and the mansion\u2019s memorable staircase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c9douard hired portraitist N\u00e9lie Jacquemart to paint him in 1872. They married in 1881. The museum\u2019s own history describes the marriage as one of convenience that became a successful partnership; the couple traveled, bought art and shaped the house around their collection. After \u00c9douard died in 1894, N\u00e9lie continued acquiring works and completing the Italian Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">N\u00e9lie died in 1912 and left the mansion and collections to the Institut de France, with detailed instructions intended to preserve the display. President Raymond Poincar\u00e9 inaugurated the museum on December 8, 1913. The Institut de France still owns it, while Culturespaces has managed the site since 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum closed for major conservation work in August 2023 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.institutdefrance.fr\/actualites\/reouverture-du-musee-jacquemart-andre-septembre-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reopened in September 2024 after restoration<\/a>. Work included the dining room, Smoking Room, Tiepolo staircase and courtyard, along with upgrades to the building and visitor experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"practical-information\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical information for your visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"opening-hours\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"mtr-table mtr-thead-th\"><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\" data-mtr-content=\"Day\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Jour<\/div><\/th><th scope=\"col\" data-mtr-content=\"Hours verified July 21, 2026\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Hours verified July 21, 2026<\/div><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Day\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Monday\u2013Thursday<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Hours verified July 21, 2026\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">10 a.m.\u20136 p.m.<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Day\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Vendredi<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Hours verified July 21, 2026\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">10 a.m.\u20139 p.m.<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Day\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Saturday\u2013Sunday<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Hours verified July 21, 2026\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">10 a.m.\u20137 p.m.<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-mtr-content=\"Day\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Last admission<\/div><\/td><td data-mtr-content=\"Hours verified July 21, 2026\" class=\"mtr-td-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">30 minutes before closing<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Late-opening schedules can change between exhibitions.

Its compact scale makes it a good alternative to Paris\u2019s largest museums, but the current full adult price of \u20ac19 may not suit travelers seeking a free or budget activity.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1721577602\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">How long do you need at Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Plan 90\u2013120 minutes for the mansion and permanent collection. Add 45\u201360 minutes for a temporary exhibition and more time if you want to eat at Le N\u00e9lie. These are practical planning estimates, not official visit limits.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1721577603\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">How much does Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 cost?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>As verified on July 21, 2026, the full ticket costs \u20ac19 during the current exhibition period. Senior, reduced, youth and family rates are available, and children under seven enter free. Check the official rates page before purchasing.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1721577604\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Do you need to book Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 in advance?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Advance booking is not always mandatory, but the museum recommends buying online. Exhibition-period bookings use a 15-minute entry slot, while on-site tickets are subject to availability.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1721577605\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Is Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 wheelchair accessible?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>The museum states that it is accessible to visitors with reduced mobility and that a lift reaches the upper floor.

Contact the museum before visiting if you need route-specific assistance.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1721577606\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Can you visit Le N\u00e9lie without a museum ticket?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Yes. Le N\u00e9lie restaurant and tea room operates independently of the museum. It does not accept reservations, and its opening times can differ from the museum schedule.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-verdict\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bottom line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 works best as a focused half-day cultural stop rather than an all-day museum marathon. Its value lies in the combination: a restored 19th-century home, a strong Italian Renaissance collection, theatrical reception rooms and a rotating exhibition program. Check current hours and ticket terms, arrive without large luggage, and give the staircase and Italian Museum more time than a quick walk-through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the rest of your itinerary, use this guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/things-to-do-in-paris\/\">best things to do in Paris<\/a> to place the museum alongside nearby sights without overloading the day.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tour Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 with updated 2026 ticket prices, opening hours, collection highlights, accessibility notes and a practical two-hour route.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":8865,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_glsr_average":0,"_glsr_ranking":0,"_glsr_reviews":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-things-to-do"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
