The Monet Water Lilies is spectacular. We were lucky in that we went to see his garden out in Giverny The day before, and it really helped understand the perspectives that were in the paintings. We...

Beautifully displayed artwork of impressionist masters both well known and some lesser known but important artists of the time. Busy but not impossibly overcrowded as some museums can be. Mediocre...

Small, intimate museum with beautiful display of Monet's works, amongst others. Worth the visit! Go early and avoid the lines.

Cute museum. 1 story reserved for Monet's exhibition and another reserved for other artwork (like Picasso and Renoir etc.). Food is available on site. For those who want to see Monet's paintings: The exhibition is supposed to be observed IN SILENCE! Most visitors do NOT respect this, and there is a lot of chatter (it's even written on the wall to please respect Monet's wish to be quiet!), therefore 4 stars.

Not the biggest museum I’ve visited, but nicely laid out and had some gorgeous pieces of art. The Monet meditation rooms are lovely. If only people in those rooms read the signs that suggest keeping quiet…

Only worthwhile museum in Paris. Get tickets beforehand to avoid line, not too expensive. Short digestible museum full of masters. Not crowded and very respectful crowd. Modern art fantastic. Recommended.

With no doubts my favorite museum. It's smaller than others so it won't take as long, but it's so worth visiting. The Water lilies rooms are the rooms that cannot be missed, exceptional recommended if you are looking for a quiet place and you are intrigued by meditation.

For Paris museums this one is on the smaller side but possibly my favorite. If you love Monet then you HAVE to come here. My best advice is to book your tickets online at the museum website and book the earliest time available, you will really appreciate the calm, quiet, and lack of people to enjoy the art.
