Museum of paintings, sculptures and other treasures, housed in the Hôtel Donon in the heart of Paris.
The Musée Cognacq-Jay is housed in the charming Hôtel Donon (16th and 17th centuries). It houses the collections of Ernest Cognacq and Marie-Louise Jay, the couple responsible for the creation of the Samaritaine department stores. Enthralled by 18th-century France, the Cognacq-Jays collected numerous treasures from this period, which they bequeathed to the City of Paris in 1928. The museum offers visitors the chance to discover these treasures, as well as numerous thematic guided tours, temporary exhibitions and workshops.
