The museum is dedicated to the work of Jean-Jacques Henner (1829-1905), a regional artist from Alsace, portraitist, and an adept of a very personal symbolism.
The visit highlights two themes : the career of an artist in the nineteenth century and the painter’s studio which illustrates how Henner worked.

The museum is housed in a 19th century mansion which presents an eclectic interior decor and a winter garden.
