The Jean-Jacques Henner National Museum is located in the former home of the painter and decorator Guillaume Dubufe (1853-1909). Its architecture is typical of the mansions of the Plaine Monceau of the late nineteenth century. It therefore presents the double interest of being both a painting museum dedicated to a great artist, and by its architecture and history, the testimony of a forgotten part of the history of Paris. The visitor is invited to discover the fascinating and intimate world of Jean-Jacques Henner (1829-1905) while tasting the charm of an emblematic place. By offering a rich and eclectic program promoting young companies, and by welcoming each year an artist in residence, this museum-house of artists with three workshops is also part of a dynamic perpetuating the tradition of a place dedicated to the arts and creation.
The visitor can also discover the exhibition-dossier "Homage to the founders. Jules Henner and Marie Henner-Dujardin" who highlights this couple of donors to the origins of the museum.
