马蒙坦美术馆

『印象日出』曾在此美术馆展出，不幸于1985年遭窃。隐居在市中心不起眼的一间美术馆，坐地铁于：La Muette站下车步行约5分钟即可到达。莫内作品由早期至晚期几乎都涵盖，宽敞的圆拱大厅是享受欣赏大师画作的好地方。买了一幅1:1复制画作：Promenade ou pont de rgenteuil (亚嘉杜漫步)，相当大幅的画作。一个相当值得花时间慢慢地欣赏大师级画作的好地方。

Those with an interest in Monet will find three notable sights in Paris which are "must-see" - Musee d'Orsay, Orangerie and the Musee Marmottan. In the Marmottan you will find an excellent cross section of Monet's works.It is a little bit of a trek to find it, although it is reasonably well signposted. For this visit I chose to use the PC1 bus, which stops much closer to the museum than the metro. It is one of a system of three trams and three buses that make a complete loop around Paris, and can be easily picked up at the Pont Du Gariglano terminus - which is reached by RER or Tram (google "PC1 bus" for details.

Musee Marmottan was once a private home. It is now home to the largest collection of Monet works in the world. Many other artists works are displayed here as well. The house is off the beaten tract in a quiet neighborhood in the 16th arr. It is easy to find and clearly with a 1/2 day visit. We went on a Sunday afternoon and fell in love with this area of Paris and the museum. I would definitely visit again. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musée_Marmottan_Monet

It took me four trips to Paris to discover the Marmottan, and after seeing it I wouldn't go back to the Louvre.It's a small museum, located in the 16th and offering easy access to the Bois de Bologne if you want to take a walk in the "woods" after viewing the largest collection of Monet's in the world.The most current exhibit is on the art of bathing, as presented in painting, sculpture and etchings over the past five hundred years. A modest exhibit, easily viewed in 60-90 minutes, and without the crowds or forever walks that characterize the Louvre.

This is quite the hidden gem in Paris. Not a lot of people, lots of space and time to yourself to enjoy the absolutely beautiful art. Until July, there's a temporary exhibit "Naissance de l'Intime" or "Birth of Intimacy".

the Monet collection is fantastic and the way it is displayed makes it unforgettable. You can sit on a bench and enjoy the eponymous Impression, Sunrise and then immerse yourself in the wisterias and water lilies that will surround you in the central circular hall.... A true must go for any art lover.

We visited the Musee Marmottan and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are fans of impressionism and of Monet in particular. This is a must see for visitors to Paris

An excellent museum in a quiet area (at the edge of the Bois de Boulogne) not very far from a Metro stop, with none of the hordes at, say, the Louvre or d'Orsay. A relaxing walk along a park gets you there. Nice lunch spots nearby, too. This museum gives the most comprehensive look at Monet's work anywhere. (See the big Monets at l'Orangerie on the same day to complete the experience.) We've been there twice and will go back if we get to Paris again.I've put 2-3 hours in the "recommended length" because you don't want to hurry through if you like Monet and impressionism, but like most museums you can fill your needs within two hours if you want to.Some work was being done on the exhibits when we were there in July 2014, so we didn't get to see the most recent layout. I'm sure it's great. Enjoy.

A special intimate museum in which you are surrounded by Monet paintings including the painting that gave its name to the Impressionist movement "Impression of a Sunrise"

Fantastic collection of Monets in period house with beautiful interiors. Well worth the visit even though a little way out on edge of Bois de Boulogne.

I don't usually review tourist attractions but I happened to be looking at these reviews and noted that no one called attention to the progression of Monet. This is a fabulous place to see how Monet's vision, often of the same scene, changed not only with season and time of day, but in painting the same subject over longer periods of time . The wonderful Japanese bridge sequence here illustrates that wonderfully. If you love Impressionism, and especially Monet, this is a must.

If you love impressionism paintings and Monet in specific you shouldn’t miss this museum. Slightly off the beaten track but more than worth the detour. You can easily get there by metro, or even walk there from the Eifel tower (20 min) or bike there like we did.The museum currently (Feb ’15) had a special exhibition on paintings showing hygiene through the centuries. Interesting to see how the rich evolved their habits from almost public bathing, over avoiding use of water, to the modern bathrooms of today.But of course what you are here for is the largest single collection of Monet paintings in the world. It had been a number of years since I visited before and the museum has done a great job in remodelling the basement rooms where the Monet’s are. If you love this type of art, this is heaven. Not too many visitors when we were there (30 maybe), so you almost have the place to yourself.It has an incredible copy of the Sunrise (soleil levant), the parliament in Londen, and then many, many paintings of his late period in his garden in Giverny. It’s such a great collection and small museum I try to go back every couple of years.

In addition to the original contents of the house, the museum boasts the personal estate of Claude Monet and a large donation by the heirs of Berthe Morisot, in addition to works of other impressionists, donated over the years. If you enjoy the impressionists and want to avoid the chaos of the Orsay, this museum shouldn't be missed.

I spent a really lovely moments in this museum which allow to see the inside of a XIXth century house and, at the same time, admire the painting of Monet, and especially Impression, soleil levant, in front of which I spent half of my visit!Amazing moment and visit!

The Marmottin is on the edge of central Paris but easily accessible. Downside is it is a late opener. Upside is that you get a very interesting upper floor of Impressionists including some lovelyBerthe Morissots. You think: 'Nice, but what's the fuss about?'. Then you go downstairs. Wow! Monet at his late best. A Must see in Paris.
