Musée Marmottan Monet

Great museum and art gallery in a lovely building. The specially constructed basement gallery displaying the Monet paintings was particularly effective and impressive. I was disappointed there weren't more of Bethe Morisot's works on show as I specifically visited to see her paintings. Worthwhile booking ahead to arrive at opening time as it filled up within the hour and it was more difficult to view the paintings. Highly recommended, especially if you are interested in Impressionism.

Many know of the more famous museums in Paris like Musee L’Orangerie and Musee D’Orsay but this place is a hidden gem that is definitely worth visiting if you like Monet. Along the west side of Paris, this was a country lodge owned by the Marmottan family later bequeathed to the art institute and later turned into a museum. The place is wonderfully curated with many of Monet’s painting of his home and garden in Givenchy, some paintings not publicly displayed until after his death. In addition to Monet, there are also works from Berthe Morisot, a fellow impressionist and random works from other artists (including 12 and 13th century polyptychs and illuminations) that were part of the Marmottan family collection and items bequeathed to the art institute. You can spend a good 1-1.5 hours here and come away with getting a good feel for what it must look like in Monet’s garden. If you’re into impressionistic art, this is a must do.

An amazing museum with an abundance of original works on display. The museum is comprised of interconnected rooms on several floors, with strategically placed benches allowing the visitor to spend time with pieces that they find intriguing. In addition to the largest collection of Monet works in a single place, they currently have a theme-based exhibit around "Sleep". Although I was initially skeptical about the interest of this topic, once I started through the exhibit, it became a fascinating look at the sleeping form in art, as well as it's often overlooked, critical role in our lives.

I'm still absolutley mesmerized. This museum is incredible beautiful, even without the Monet exhibition it's worth a visit. The rooms were bright and so beautiful. The Monet room in the basement, will have a special place in my heart. I could take my eyes of those paintings and I could've spend a lifetime there. This is a must see, when you are in Paris.
