Musée Marmottan Monet
Musée Marmottan Monet is a hidden gem located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, dedicated to preserving and exhibiting the works of Claude Monet and other Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists. Housed in a former hunting lodge turned townhouse, the museum boasts the world's largest collection of Monet's paintings, including the iconic "Impression, Sunrise," which gave the Impressionist movement its name. Visitors can also explore works by Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas, and Édouard Manet, among others. The museum's intimate setting and beautifully curated gardens provide a tranquil retreat from the bustling city. In addition to the permanent collection, the Musée Marmottan Monet hosts temporary exhibitions and scholarly events, making it a dynamic cultural hub for art enthusiasts and expats seeking to immerse themselves in French art history. The museum's location in a residential neighborhood also offers a glimpse into the elegant, less-touristed side of Parisian life.
