Museum preserving paintings, sculptures and various treasures of the century, installed in the Donon hotel in the heart of Paris.

The Musée Cognacq-Jay is housed in the charming Hôtel Donon (16th and 17th centuries). It houses the collections of the couple Ernest Cognacq and Marie-Louise Jay, who created the Samaritaine department stores in the late 19th century. The Cognacq-Jay family's love affair with 18th-century France led them to collect numerous treasures from this period. Bequeathed to the City of Paris in 1928, their collections have been accessible to the public ever since. The museum also hosts a number of temporary exhibitions.

Belle suprise
Musée gratuit qui appartient à la mairie de Paris. Très beau bâtiment et belle collection d'un couple qui a accumulé les objets plus ou moins impressionnants et pièces artistiques. Joli moment à passer dans ce musée. La visite se fait à l'aide de fiches plastifiées présentes dans chaque pièce qui vous aident à faire seul votre visite. Très pratique! Accueil à l'entrée sympathique.

Petit musée avec de belles expositions
Ce petit musée situé dans un bel hôtel particulier gagnerait à être connu. Les petites expositions temporaires sont très chouettes.

Musée de la ville de Paris situé en plein cœur de Marais, la visite des collections permanentes est gratuite. Celles-ci concernent le XVIIIe siècle et valent la peine d'y consacrer une à deux heures. Elles sont en effet très variées : boiseries, meubles, tableaux, sculptures, porcelaine de Saxe...
