Museum of the Week: Musée Jacquemart-André, Paris
Three things you probably didn’t know about the Musée Jacquemart-André.

🏠️It still feels like a private house
This was the private house of Édouard André and Nélie Jacquemart, designed for art, entertaining and serious 19th-century wealth. The grand staircase, winter garden and salons still have stayed intact as if the owners still live there.

🖼️It’s the closest thing Paris has to the Frick
Like New York’s The Frick Collection, the paintings and furniture are still in the rooms they were collected for. Botticelli, Mantegna, Fragonard, Rembrandt and Van Dyck appear among furniture, tapestries and decorative arts, so the house itself is a big part of the story.

🎨There’s a spectacular exhibition on right now
The current exhibition, "Splendours of the Baroque: From El Greco to Velázquez", adds around 40 works from the Hispanic Society Museum in New York to the museum’s own collection. It runs until 2 August 2026, which makes now the best moment to go.

Would you pick this instead of one of Paris’s bigger museums?

There are heaps of museums in Europe which you would love to know about but probably don’t. Every week, we’ll share one museum worth knowing, from the former home of a 19th century artist in Paris to strange collections in places you’ve never visited.

🎨Follow us to discover one museum in Europe each week.

Musée de la Vie Romantique, Paris
Three things you probably didn’t know about Paris’s Musée de la Vie Romantique.

1. Ary Scheffer (1795–1858) lived there: a major figure in his time but not on the tip of the tongue, today. His Friday salons brought together a dazzling arts and literary set which included George Sand (1804–1876), Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) and Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863), so this quiet house was once right at the centre of Parisian cultural life.

2. The area where the house is, was called the Nouvelle Athènes quarter. It was the fashionable address for writers, painters and musicians in the 19th century. Having gone totally out of fashion, the area (now known as Pigalle) has become “in” all over again: this time for people who live for inventive restaurants, vintage, independent shops and places that are downright original.

3. The house has just reopened after a major renovation, which makes the traces of Scheffer’s circle easier to spot. You’ll find George Sand’s (1804–1876) portraits, furniture and personal objects here, inside the very rooms where she and Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) once spent time together.

It is still tucked away - even though one of Paris’s trendiest neighbourhoods is right outside the garden gate.

Two London exhibitions, two completely different after-effects.
Seurat at : beaches, ports, soft light. You leave feeling laid back.

Tracey Emin at Modern: raw and intense. Neon about abortion, survival, addiction. You come out feeling emotionally exhausted.

This is a celebration of an artist who has redefined what figurative painting can be. Whether you’ve followed her work for years or are discovering her for the first time, The Anatomy of Painting is an unique look at one of the most influential painters of our time🎨

Saville has always challenged traditional ideas of female beauty, and this exhibition is no exception. Her paintings, unapologetically raw and powerful, redefine the way we see the human form. Whether she’s capturing flesh in thick, layered brushstrokes or sketching delicate, expressive lines, there’s a fearless intensity to her work that demands attention💡

Now, a major exhibition, Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting, is bringing together 50 of her works, charting her evolution from the ‘90s to today. Don’t miss it and plan your visit on divento.com now!

🇬🇷 About a 15 minute drive from the ancient city of Corinth you can discover the ruins of one, or perhaps several ancient houses: walls, a few amphorae, floor tiles... together with coloured fish and sea slugs among them.

The word ‘city’ is a bit of an exaggeration but the site is a short (five minute) swim from the shore and parts of it are less than two metres deep which make it easy, even for children, to explore. Archeologists believe these are the remains of a Roman villa from the 2nd century AD which was inhabited by a Roman family and their staff.

🤿 Take a snorkel and a pair of beach shoes to avoid stepping on the sea urchins.
