This museum is strange: the location is in a north-west residential part of Paris, far away from most tourist attractions. We went on a Saturday afternoon and were the only (!) visitors when we arrived. I soon understood why: there is not much to see here. The rooms are full portraits (most unknown people) and reposing corpses (or "crucifixion nudes"). It took us 15 minutes to walk through. The good news is that the museum will be closed for renovation and extension until April 2015. In the meantime, very few people will miss it. Hopefully there will be some improvement, because until now this museum is a pathetic use of French tax payers money.

This is a great museum full of beautiful paintings of red heads (and others). Exceptional work and worth going to. As said by others, you can actually study the art and enjoy it without hoards of people running into you or climbing up your leg to take a picture. There are several creaky floors in this old house, with maybe 8-12 paintings on each floor. The paintings have a dreamy quality to them.

Tired of museums congested like subway platforms ? Would like to have the time to get closer, enjoy the silence, be alone in a room the artist's legacy ? See works that do 'speak' to you regardless of your own preferences ? Toss in a grand old house looking like a haunted place that has been freshly refurbished and you have an alternative to behemoth museums closer down to the river ( no names...). Hundred and some works of the same painter, just the quantity one can handle, great dispaly, and more works in the pipe so I understant that in a couple of years we'll have a café inside the off limits winter garden. Now that would be a treat of a scale as grand the café inside musée de la vie romantique. One hour to spare in Paris, want to feel cleaned inside but not use fish feet massage ? Go for Jean Jacques Henner ! Closer than Monet in Giverny and surely less crowded.

If like me you are visiting Paris and you would like something that is a little bit less crowded and a little bit more authentic than the main places packed with tourists, this is definitely the place to go. It makes for an excellent visit, the neighborhood is lovely and the museum is really well organised. It's a good place to go with kids too. We stumbled upon this place by chance and we kept thinking "why on earth isn't this place more well known". So there you are, we are sharing our secret. Enjoy Paris, it's such a lovely city!!!

I stumbled upon this hotel in one of the nicest parts of Paris, the beautiful and relatively quiet 17th arrondissement, essentially by chance. The building is a remarkable turn of the century mansion, with an original interior combining all sorts of influences, from neo-classical to Arabic. The museum is named after Henner, a French painter who was one of the most famous of his time, around the end of the 19th century / beginning of the 20th. His style is neo-classical and often patriotic - his native region, Alsace, was occupied by Germany at the time -, not necessarily the most original but a great representation of the reigning style of the era. The visit is not long, basically a great way to have a peak at what the French art world was looking like a century ago.
