Musée Marmottan-Claude Monet
2, rue Louis-Boilly, Paris 75016 01 44 96 50 33
Description:
16ème ARRONDISSEMENT. For years, this wonderful institution was a repository for illuminations, Renaissance tapestries, and First Empire furniture, artwork, and objects. However, thanks to a 1966 gift of more than 100 Monets, the museum's focus expanded, and its attendance increased. Impressionism is now a great draw, and aside from Monet's works, visitors can browse paintings and drawings by Gauguin and Renoir. Also available are paintings by Boucher and Chardin, sculptures by Lemoyne, ceiling frescoes, and 16th-century Limoges enamels. Hours: Tue 11am-9pm; Wed-Sun 11am-6pm Admission: €9; Student (-25) €5; Child (0-7) Free
