Every museum captures a specific world and tells its own story about a particular time, place, and the ideals of the people who brought it into being through their passion for collecting. Nowhere is this more strongly felt than in house museums, those marvelous time capsules of lives lived with, and around, art. Join art historian Aneta Georgievska-Shine for a look into some of the most remarkable house museums in Paris that offer a sense of both the spirit of a particular age and the individual sensibility of their creators. From the masterworks of Bellini to the works of Rembrandt at the Musee Jacquemart-Andre to the house museums of Gustave Moreau and Auguste Rodin, these unique collections offer up countless treasures to explore.
