Musée Marmottan Monet
Artistic Treasure Trove
Back to Musée Marmottan Monet
I was in the Marmottan Monet in October 2009 - on a repeat visit because I have so loved the place... BUT the Illuminated manuscripts were not on exhibit; the Morisot paintings were not labelled - many people did not know at whose work they were looking; the Monet special room in the lowest floor had been "pillaged" and the Monet's that had been so well-dsplayed there were absent. All this for only 9 euros!!

I actually had my first religious experience - I was so overcome with the beauty of the Monet exhibition in the Water Lily room that I was brought to tears and had to sit down and take a moment to myself. It was beautiful and definitely worthwhile. A must see - especially for Impressionist or Monet fans.

After a long trek across the city of lights, we arrived at the museum and were greeted poorly with few directions and had to ask for a copy of the free museum plan; which was wrong, and unhelpful. Notably, the single card museum plan had the top attraction scratched out by ballpoint pen telling us that the reason that we had come was lent out - Monet replaced by some fine Chinese printing that might be of interest to some...
