Established in 1943, this museum features seven fully furnished rooms that reveal the work and life of 19th-century artist Jean-Jacques Henner. Over 500 canvases and 1,000 drawings are exhibited from his very first sketches to his last unfinished works. After attending the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Paris and Strasbourg, Jean-Jacques Henner won the first Grand Prix de Rome and spent five years in Italy. This period marked a turning point in his style, moving to inspiration from mythology. As the 1870 War drew closer, a deep nostalgia emerged in his paintings such as the portrait of a young Alsatian girl known as Elle attend. Admission: EUR2.28; concessions EUR1.52.
