It is with deep sadness that the museum has learnt of the passing of Jacques Gairard, a great patron of the museum.
It was thanks to his passion, his ability to inspire others, and his deep desire to share that the Saint-Pierre Museum Club and the Cercle Poussin were founded in 2008, following the acquisition of The Flight into Egypt by Nicolas Poussin. 
Today, as we pay tribute to him, we thank him for his commitment and unwavering trust. The momentum he instilled continues to live on through the museum’s projects and our shared determination to pass on to future generations a vibrant, open and ambitious museum.
