About this experience

The Jean-Jacques Henner Museum was created by the painter’s niece Marie Henner in 1921.

The museum includes over 130 portraits, biblical, mythological and landscapes by the artist. You’ll also find approximately 1,000 sketches, documents, and souvenirs.

Henner’s style approached Symbolism and was in contrast to the Realist movement. He was deeply influenced by the painting of the Italian Renaissance. The museum includes drawings and sketches that follow the artist’s evolution and provides you with an understanding of his process.
