Musée Marmottan Monet

I like this museum because it is much less crowded, so I can spend time observing the details of the paintings that I find interesting. There are lockers for your bags. You have to purchase a ticket first, and the staff will assign you a locker slot based on your bag size. This museum is a must-visit for art lovers, especially fans of Impressionism. Here houses the world's largest collection of works by Claude Monet, including his iconic Impression, Sunrise, which gave the Impressionist movement its name.

We went here with our 3 young boys (11-6 years old). They lean more towards soccer than art so I spent time on crafting the experience. We went to Giverney (monet’s home and gardens and subject of much of his later art) the day before so we all had context for the Monet work at the museum. It is small, digestible, with a limited but high quality Monet and wider impressionist collection. We were also attracted to come her for the size that realistically matches the attention span of our boys. We also chose the Marmottan because they offer classes for children. Check out the website. Our boys got a tour (in English and French) along with other children from around the world, before heading down to the atelier to make art themselves. It was a hit for the boys and for my wife and myself who got to enjoy 1.5 hours without interruption in a gorgeous historical mansion surrounded by beautiful art. Go for the kids class, take in the art for yourself, and head to Giverney the day before. It all helps provide meaning and context to the work. I found it more meaningful myself and the boys enjoyed making connections between their experiences the day before in the gardens, seeing Monet’s paintings of those gardens and then finally they own try at making art.

One of the places that I had to visit when visiting Paris, as I’ve been a huge fan of Monet my whole life and I was not disappointed. The largest collection of Monet’s work all in one location as well as some other very talented artists. Not very expensive and in a not too busy part of the city so easy to drive to.

Very nice collection of Monet. At the time of the visit they also hosted a great collection of Boudin. Small museum that can be seen in 1 hour but chock full of great art. Not crowded with lots of seating to admire the artwork. Love it

Arrived on a Sunday afternoon with no pre-purchased tickets. I chose to buy them at the door to get the nicely printed ticket (for scrapbooking our trip!), there was only one couple in front and their transaction proceeding very quickly. The museum was nice, less crowded than the more central museums but still had a lot of patrons. The bathrooms are upstairs, which can be accessed via elevator/lift or stairs. There is another bathroom on a mid-level between two sets of staircases - obviously a little less accessible. Lovely little cafe and gift shop at the end of the museum. It can be quite warm in some parts of the gallery, being a fan to keep yourself cool if you are prone to overheating.
