iBuilt between 1869 and 1875 by architect Henri Parent as the home of banker-collector Édouard André and society painter Nélie Jacquemart, the mansion was bequeathed to the Institut de France and opened as a museum in 1913. Its richly decorated rooms display Italian Renaissance masterpieces by Botticelli, Mantegna, Uccello and Bellini, alongside French 18th-century paintings and Flemish works by Rembrandt and Frans Hals. The Italian Museum, a monumental staircase frescoed by Tiepolo, and a glass-roofed Winter Garden recreate the atmosphere of a grand 19th-century Parisian residence.

The mansion's reception rooms, from the Picture Gallery and Grand Salon to the Music Room and Dining Room, where Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart hosted Parisian high society amid their finest works.

The glass-roofed Winter Garden of exotic plants and a sweeping double-revolution marble staircase crowned by a Giambattista Tiepolo fresco, the marvel that most impressed the mansion's 19th-century guests.

Three galleries of the Andrés' Renaissance treasures: Botticelli, Perugino and Uccello's Saint George in the Florentine Gallery; Bellini, Mantegna and Carpaccio among the Venetian masters.
