An amazing collection of art: Picasso, Cezanne, Rodin, Matisse, Degas. And two rooms with Monet's giant water lily canvasses. Pound for pound (frame for frame?), perhaps the best museum in the world.
Don't sleep on this museum because it's not the Orsay or Louvre. Two huge rooms on the top floor devoted to mural-sized works by Monet of his water lilies. Very serene place to appreciate his work.
It's my favourite museum in Paris. Small, intimate, and you are surrounded by Monet's fabulous water lily murals. Downstairs is a great, small collection of other famous artists.
My favorite museum in Paris aside from Monet's incredible water lilies there is also a lovely collection of impressionist works downstairs, I'm especially fond of the Renoirs!
The Water Lilies “Grandes Décorations” are the culmination of Monet’s lifetime work, painted 1914-1926. The two full oval rooms are both stunning and a relaxing feeling of “water without horizon”.
The Monets are as stunning as everyone says. Make it a point to go here and come back as many times in life as is possible. It's an emotional whirlwind worth experiencing over and over again.
