art museum in Paris, France
The Musée national Jean-Jacques Henner is a French art museum dedicated to the works of painter Jean-Jacques Henner (1829–1905). It is located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris at 43, Avenue de Villiers. The museum is housed within an 1878 hôtel particulier designed by architect Nicolas-Félix Escalier. Following Henner's instructions, Marie Henner, the widow of his nephew Jules Henner, acquired it from the painter Guillaume Dubufe, in 1921. It was inaugurated as a museum on 7 March 1924 by Léon Bérard, Minister of Public Instruction. Its first director was Henner's former pupil Many Benner. It became a national museum in 1943.
