Does the Paris Museum Pass Include the Musée Jacquemart-André?
No — the Paris Museum Pass does not include the Musée Jacquemart-André. This opulent private mansion museum, recently restored, needs its own ticket. For pass-included mansion museums, the Rodin and Cluny are covered, and the Carnavalet is free. Here’s the detail and how to plan around it.
The short answer
The Musée Jacquemart-André, a lavish 19th-century private mansion on Boulevard Haussmann filled with a superb fine-art collection, is privately managed, and the Paris Museum Pass is not valid there. You’ll buy a separate ticket to visit — as with the Marmottan Monet and other independent museums.
What makes it special
Reopened after a careful restoration, the Jacquemart-André recreates the home of a wealthy art-collecting couple, with Italian Renaissance works, French paintings and grand reception rooms. Its elegant café, set in the former dining room, is one of the loveliest in Paris. It’s a refined, intimate experience — just one that’s ticketed separately.
Pass-included mansion museums instead
If you love art in a historic-home setting, the pass has excellent alternatives. The Musée Rodin occupies the beautiful Hôtel Biron with its sculpture garden, the Musée de Cluny blends a medieval mansion with Roman baths, and the Musée Carnavalet — free for all — fills grand Marais mansions with the history of Paris.
What the pass does cover
The pass gives unlimited entry to over 50 museums and monuments, including the Louvre, Orsay, Versailles, Sainte-Chapelle, the Orangerie, Rodin, Picasso and Cluny. So while the Jacquemart-André is excluded, the pass still covers the vast majority of Paris’s great collections, several in stunning historic settings.
How to visit alongside the pass
Book the Jacquemart-André separately and slot it around your pass days. It’s near the Arc de Triomphe and the grand department stores, so you can pair it with pass-covered sites nearby — the Arc’s rooftop terrace, for instance — using your pass for those and a separate ticket for the mansion.
Other private-museum exclusions
- The Musée Jacquemart-André.
- The Musée Marmottan Monet.
- The Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection.
- The Atelier des Lumières and Espace Dalí.
- Temporary exhibitions at included museums.
Is the pass still worth it?
Yes — the Jacquemart-André being excluded doesn’t change the pass’s value for everything else. It pays for itself after about three major sites, and the Rodin, Cluny and free Carnavalet offer plenty of historic-mansion atmosphere on the pass, with the Jacquemart-André an optional extra.
A mansion-museum day
- Morning: the Musée Rodin and its garden (on the pass).
- Midday: the free Musée Carnavalet in the Marais.
- Afternoon: the Musée de Cluny (on the pass).
- Optional: the Jacquemart-André (separate ticket).
Best time to visit the Jacquemart-André
If you do add it, mornings are quietest, and the famous café is loveliest for a mid-visit coffee or lunch before the lunchtime rush. Book your separate ticket ahead in peak season, as the restored mansion is popular. Pair it with a stroll along Boulevard Haussmann and the grand department stores, then return to your pass-covered sights for the rest of the day.
