The museum was founded in 1890 at the same time as the other new art museums in the city (whose predecessors were destroyed in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870) by Wilhelm Bode and had its own premises in the Palais Rohan as early as 1898 . In 1984 the collection moved to its current quarters in the immediate vicinity of the Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame .
A similar topic as in the graphic collection, but with a more concentrated focus, is presented in the same city by the Musée Tomi Ungerer. Center international de l'illustration represented (works by Tomi Ungerer , Saul Steinberg , Ronald Searle ...). When it was founded in 1992, this collection was briefly included in the graphics collection.
