 Musée Marmottan Monet by BeatChick
Perhaps you'll get a chance to discuss the artwork with the docent: Monet, Manet, Berthe Morisot, Pisarro, Caillebotte. The knowledgable docent will tell you about the many periods of Monet and his influences on different styles of painting due to his changing styles throughout his life.
Notice that earlier works of Monet are more pastel and very much typical of the Impressionist style, while the later works border on the Expressionist with his many bold, garish colors that look Jackson Pollackesque when viewed up close & then "blend" into a recognizable scene when viewed much further away. You'll discover first-hand how Monet losing his eyesight later on in life affected his choice of colors rendering them almost as unrecognizable scenes.

 Musee Marmottan - Claude
Monet, Paris by jrs1234
The only minor drawback for me was that this museum wasn't covered by the Museum card, so I had to pay the 6.50 euro entrance fee. Well worth it, though.
The museum is open from 10am until 6pm daily except Monday (last entry 5.30pm). Leave a Comment

If you are interested in "impressionnism" and especially in the painter Monet, visit this museum which is located in the Paul Marmottan's mansion. Paul Marmottan was a director of a mining company and he has transmited to the country his mansion and his collection of paintings.
The museum has 3 main topics :
- Monet and his paintings of Giverny
- the furniture and paintings of the First Empire
- a collection of illuminations from the 15e and 16e centuries.
There is often an exibition. When we have visited the museum, the exibition was about the american artists who had reached Monet at Giverny to make "impressionist paintings".
We visited this museum with a couple of friends who are painters and we enjoyd their commentaries and explanations.
Open every day excepted Monday. 10 AM to 6 PM counter closed at 5PM (Tuesday 9PM)
Ticket : 8 euros (9 when there is an exibition) Student (less 25) 4.50 euros
Audioguide 3 euros
Photos are prohibited.
The restaurants in the neighborhood are rather expensive or crowdy and we found the good one (on our opinion) : LE BOIS LE VENT (Lebanese restaurant) 59 rue de Boulainvilliers 75016 Paris - 01.45.27.62.23 . We paid 28 euros per capita with the wine (tax included) Leave a Comment Phone: 01 44 96 50 33Directions: Metro (line 9 ) : Muette RER (line C) : Boulainvilliers Bus : 32 - 63 - 22 - 52 The museum is near the Ranelagh GardenWebsite: http://www.marmottan.com/

Open 10 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. every day (except closed Mondays)- ticket window closes at 5:30

- Claude Monet (1840-1926)
- Berthe MOrisot (1841-1895)
- Alfred Sisley (1839-1899)
- Henri Le Sidaner (1862-1939)
- Eduard Manet (1832-1883)
August Rodin (1840-1917)
The basement is my most first destination. It has Claude Monet's grandious works including the Soleil Levant.

My family doesn't like going to too many of the huge tourist attractions when we travel, so the Musee Marmottan was perfect. Background: I've loved Monet's art since I read Linnea in Monet's Garden a long long time ago. So when I heard about the Musee Marmottan, I couldn't wait to go.
My family got there by taking the metro, then walking a little bit through a pretty area. We mostly had the museum to ourselves. My favorite parts were the basement, where all the Monet paintings were, and the room of illuminated manuscripts.
The building is really cool too.
A large group of people arrived just as we left.

The Musee Marmottan Monet is a small museum located in a lovely area in the 16th a short walk from Metro Muette. It houses the world's largest collection of Monet's work. Because this museum is rarely crowded it is possible to view these beautiful works of art in a leisurely manner.

It's worth it for 'Impression soleil levant' alone. Refreshingly not too busy for a Parisian museum. Leave a Comment
