Jacquemart-André Museum in Paris

Imagine an artistic journey through the heart of the Italian Renaissance, 18th century French masterpieces and works by the Flemish masters … Discover such treasures in an authentic mansion just a stone’s throw from the Champs Elysées. The museum, Café and the bookstore and gift shop are opened every day.

For the last 15 years and while providing highly ethical and professional site management, Culturespaces has developed and coordinated prestigious monuments and museums, such as the Jacquemart-André Museum in Paris; the Antique Theatre in Orange, Roman Provence; the National Automobile Museum in Mulhouse, Alsace; and the Battlefield at Waterloo, all of which were entrusted to it by governmental institutions and communities.

Culturespaces assumes responsibility for the development and showcasing of spaces and collections, visitor reception, personnel and service management, cultural coordination and organisation of temporary exhibitions, as well as for national and international site promotion and communication.

To ensure that a "Culturespaces visit" is always a pleasurable experience, the Culturespaces teams make the quality of the welcome and the cultural enrichment of all visitors their highest priority.

With two million visitors per year and 13 sites, Culturespaces is the leading privately-owned participant in the Public-Private Partnership as applied to monuments and museums, which grants it a unique status in Europe as one of the prime European players in the cultural leisure sector.

Because the European heritage is a major cultural and tourism asset, each year Culturespaces funds programmes for monument maintenance and the further development and enhanced showcasing of collections.

Our calling is to help this exceptional heritage to enter the modern world and open itself up to our visitors, so that tomorrow our children will be able to read our history from our monuments.

Principles and values : The visitor comes first!

In the facilities entrusted to Culturespaces, the daily priority is to serve the public, providing a quality welcome and a visit to match, by making use of modern methods of organisation and management.


Lively and fascinating visits

Culturespaces animates, brings to life and energises visits. Visitors are taken on a voyage through time, living a fascinating story with amazing characters. With clear and accessible signage, an interactive audio guide, films and events, visits become pleasant and even playful.


The heritage is for everyone

The Culturespaces sites are aimed not only at regular museum visitors, but to the public at large. This is why there are events, treasure hunts and workshops for children; the sites are open seven days a week; the audio guides are in several languages, with different categories of visit; and there are special entrance fees for families and senior citizens.

Culturespaces – Timeline

Culturespaces was created by Bruno Monnier, its current C
hairman.

. After having created, at age 19, a service company handling concessions for the Domain of Versailles, his education comprised parallel managerial and cultural components (Science-Po, HEC-ISA, Law and History of Art).

. In 1981, he joined the Top Management team at Havas Tourisme.

. In 1986, he became policy officer at the Ministry of Culture, in charge of the “Heritage 2000” and the “Grand Versailles” projects.

. In 1988, together with some other passionate souls, he created Culturespaces as a Consulting and Engineering Department of Havas Tourisme.

. Culturespaces started providing consultancy services to communities, private owners and large government institutions to help them find better development, showcasing and management solutions for their monuments and museums.

. In 1990, Culturespaces became a subsidiary of Havas Tourisme and the Suez Group, signing its first management support contract for the Palace of the Popes in Avignon; this contract expired in the year 2000.

. In 1992, Culturespaces was entrusted with its first long term concession involving the development, showcasing and comprehensive management of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild.

Later, Culturespaces was entrusted, successively, with concessions on the following sites:

– the Castle of Baux de Provence in 1993;
Рthe Jacquemart-Andr̩ Museum in Paris in 1996;
Рthe Park and Castle of Valen̤ay in 1996;
– the National Automobile Museum with the Schlumpf Collection in 1999;
– the ancient Greek Villa Kerylos in 2001;
– the Antique Theatre of Orange and the Municipal Museum of Orange in 2002.

In 2004, Culturespaces went international when it took over management for the site of the Battlefield of Waterloo in Belgium. In that same year, Culturespaces was entrusted with its first management mandate to develop and showcase the Cité du Train [“Train City”] in Mulhouse.

In 2005, “Culture Espaces” changed its logo to become “Culturespaces”. Sites were brought together into a “chain” with standardised high quality levels for visitors’ welcome, reception and service. Each site develops and showcases its own identity but has access to network-wide communication and management resources.
At this time, the capital structure was simplified to be distributed between BMPO – Bruno Monnier (34%) and Suez (66%).

In May 2005, Culturespaces was entrusted with the three Roman monuments of the city of Nîmes (the Arena, the Maison Carrée and the Tour Magne).

Culturespaces now manages 13 monuments and museums receiving 2 million visitors per year.


Quality is a must
Visitor satisfaction is also based on overall quality of service, including the quality of the architecture, the collections and gardens, quality of the welcome, quality of equipment, furnishings and comfort, of bookshops and restaurants, all aimed at ensuring that visitors can have a good time at their leisure..


Serving the heritage

The conservation of works of art and monuments is a priority for Culturespaces: this translates into measures concerning outfitting, preservation of collections, and safety for works of art – because our heritage is our common legacy.

The Culturespaces guarantee: Nothing is forgotten to create unforgettable moments!.
