Paris Museum Soirée (3/4)
Monday, December 13th at 5 PM Eastern Time

The hôtel particulier that houses the Musée Jacquemart-André was built at the end of the 19th century in Hausmann’s new Paris as a sort of extravagant bachelor pad for over the top society parties hosted by born-into-money banker’s son Edouard André. Then, somewhat unexpectedly, when he was almost 50, the bachelor married 40-year old Nélie Jacquemart. Together, they travelled and pursued their shared passion for collecting art, amassing one of the most astonishing private collections in the whole of France. It has been described as a mini Louvre in terms of the scope and importance of its works.

Virtual Soirée presentation procedure:

Dana and our guide will arrive at the meeting 10 minutes in advance for those of you who would like to say hello and make sure your zoom settings are ready. The presentation will start promptly at the scheduled hour, and Dana will begin the meeting by muting the microphones and introducing our speaker. The talk will be recorded.  The lecture will last about 45 minutes and afterward Dana will moderate a Q&A session. If you show up late, no worries, you will be muted upon entry.

After the tour, you will receive a follow-up email with a recording of the event. You will be able to access this recording until December 31st, 2021.
