The Musée Nissim-de-Camondo occupies a private mansion on rue de Monceau, in the 8th arrondissement, built between 1911 and 1914 for the banker Moïse de Camondo. It shows 18th-century furniture, tapestries and porcelain in interiors kept as the collector arranged them. The museum has been closed for renovation since 4 August 2024; it is due to reopen in 2030.
Highlights
René Sergent's mansion
The architect René Sergent designed the house in the spirit of late 18th-century residences. Moïse de Camondo gathered his collection there and bequeathed it in 1935 to the Arts Décoratifs in memory of his son Nissim, killed in action in 1917.
Salons kept as in the collector's day
Panelling, carpets and 18th-century furniture make up a collector's home rather than a classic museum route. The ensemble will be presented again after the renovation.
The Salon bleu
On the second floor, the Salon bleu is one of the living rooms the museum showed before it closed.
