Musée Jacquemart-André
Summary
One of Paris’s most beloved museums, often compared to the Frick in New York City and the Wallace Collection in London, the Musée Jacquemart-André has just reopened after a year of renovations. Created in the late 19th century by the banker Charles André and his artist wife, Nelie Jacquemart, the collection includes works by Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Frans Hals, Tiepolo, Fragonard, and Chardin, as well as one of the important selections of Renaissance works outside of Italy. This presentation will guide you through a wondrous virtual tour of this iconic museum.
