The Camondo Museum is little known. But it's one of the most interesting in Paris. It is located on the edge of the Parc Monceau. Home to the great financial figures of the late 19th century.

The mansion was built on the model of the Petit Trianon in Versailles. Moïse de Camondo was an eighteenth-century enthusiast. His collections are intimately linked to family life. You can admire some of the finest paintings by Guardi and Vigée Lebrun.

There are also pieces of furniture by the greatest cabinetmakers of the late 18th century. Particularly impressive are the petrified wooden vases that belonged to Marie-Antoinette and Madame Pompadour's bottle of sake.

The Maison-Musée Camondo was bequeathed to France by Moise Camondo, the last of the Camondo family. His son Nissim died as a pilot in the First World War. His daughter Béatrice and her 2 children disappeared into the death camps during the Second World War.
Discovering the Musée Camondo is an encounter with art, architecture and history.
