Did you know?
The museum owners, Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart, signed a pact to devote their entire fortunes and married lives to traveling the world to buy art together.
Nélie Jacquemart was a highly accomplished professional society portrait painter before marrying her wealthy husband and becoming a full-time collector.
Upon her death in 1912, Nélie bequeathed the entire mansion and its treasures to the Institut de France under the condition that it must open to the public as a museum.
The jaw-dropping ceiling fresco above the grand double-spiral staircase was painted by Giambattista Tiepolo in 1745 and was meticulously moved here from a historic villa in Venice.
To maximize floor space for their massive parties, the couple built an innovative hydraulic wall system in the reception rooms that could slide into the floors to create one giant gallery.
