O Musée Cognacq-Jay ocupa o Hôtel de Donon, um solar do século XVI no coração do Marais. Suas salas íntimas, revestidas de painéis, recriam um interior do século XVIII repleto da arte reunida por Ernest Cognacq e Marie-Louise Jaÿ, fundadores de grandes lojas de departamento, entre 1900 e 1925. Entre os destaques estão pinturas de Boucher, Fragonard e Chardin, pastéis de Maurice-Quentin de La Tour, esculturas, porcelanas da Saxônia, caixas de rapé e mobiliário com selo de mestre. A entrada para a coleção permanente é gratuita.
