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.

Adam Sigel

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.

Lauren Landau

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 .

Nola Dolan

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!

Emily Wilson

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.

Eric Andersen

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”.

Cody Griggers

Brilliantly curated collection of some of the finest Impressionist works in one intimate space . Small enough you can take your time. Get the €16 combo ticket for the Orsay as well .

Joanna Gong

An intimate and beautiful museum that is small yet essential in Paris. Go on a day with bright sunlight because light plays a huge role for monet's pieces. If you go late, ticket prices may be cheaper

Candace Metzger

Must see! After a long day at the louvre, sneaking in before closing gave us enough time to see the small but magnificent collection. Waterlilies in person... sigh...❤️❤️❤️

Bianca Bueno

Even if Monet isn't your cup of tea , it worth the visit to see many beautiful impressionist paintings . Go early in the morning and buy tickets to here and the D'Orsay, saving a precious time on lines .

New York Habitat

Usually a lot less crowded than other major museums in Paris! First check out Monet’s gorgeous Water Lilies, and then proceed downstairs to soak up some Picasso, Renoir and Cezanne .

Anonymous, since 2018

The Monet collection is truly amazing, but the underground floor has one of the most spectacular collection of contemporary artists too! Definitely worth visiting at least once.

Bee .

Amazing museum ! One of my fav in paris definitetly worth the visit, spent 2 hrs approx and what i like is that its concise and beautiful collection of art , recommended ✔️????

Karin Chiu

Compact collection, smaller crowd- my top museum in Paris for peaceful art appreciation. Most well known for Monet's waterlilies but make sure to allocate time to check out the rest as well !

Katy Zack

Surround yourself with two rooms of Monet's waterlilies. Also features an incredible private collection of Renoir, Derain, Cezanne and more

Anastasya Burmistova

For me this is a great place. But it has only a few small exhibitions which are fantastic if you like impressionists. Moreover, the audioguide had a very interesting materials.

Dave Chu

Easily one of the best museum in Paris. A hidden gem where you are inches away from the works of Picasso and Renoir.

Scott Lux

One of my favorite museums and currently interesting exhibit of works by Paula Rego. The museum is a must if you are a fan of Monet

Sofia Papastamelos

Great curation of pieces by Renoir, Matisse , Monet, Picasso, and more! Smaller, less crowded , and easier to conquer than d'orsay. Get the audio guide!

Stephen Sheppard

Went for the Matisse exhibition , which was great. Saw many other impressionist and post-impressionist works that were wonderful. Very impressive collection.

Andreas Nellas

Such an impressive museum , but it seems it's easier to gather so many works of Picasso, Monet, Matisse & Renoir, than to teach some English to the employees. Still it totally worths your time.

Cilane Gallois

Nympheas are breathtaking. 2 rooms only for this magistral and peacefull work Dont forget for UE citizens under 26 museum is free, go straight at the entry no need to wait for ticket

Nicole Forbes

Worth it if only for the water Lillies . It has great paintings from impressionists

Lisa Starbucks

Best museum in Paris. It's small but has the best collection with monet's nympheas.

Mike McGeis

Absolute stunning museum ! Monets huge Waterlilies painings (as seen in Woody Allens Midnight in Paris) and very nice collection of Renoir, Cezanne , Picasso and Monet

Leah Raddish

An often missed museum , but so worth it especially if you are a Monet fan. Great alternative for those not wanting to get lost in the Louvre.

Ана Лековић

Come on sunny days, due to museum using natural light you will have a better look at Monet's water lilies! Impressive Renoir collection in basement also.

Felipe Iglesias

Is very nice, a tiny museum . Now is under works so you can see the half of the museum , but still worth the visit. Buy the jumelée ticket + Musee d'Orsay, you will save 4€!

????T

Beautiful Monet! The rooms containing them have seats and you can really sit there and admire them in all it's glory.

Rahaf

Very nice museum worth visiting on a sunday morning and try to rent one of the audioguides it really helps

Kris Verdeyen

My must see every time in Paris: the water lilies.... book tickets online in advance to enter via separate qeue. Std qeue waiting time is loooooong

Alex Curiel

Beautiful museum located not far from the Louvre! Their collection is almost exclusively made of Monet’s paintings , including the water lilies!

Matt Rosenberg

Monet's Waterlillies are the prized gem in this museum . Prints in the gift shop are fairly inexpensive and make up for no cameras being allowed in the actual exhibit .

S Marks The Spots

If you are an admirer of Monet’s work, you will simply fall in love with this place. The famous painter’s Nymphéas (water lilies) are exhibited in two plain oval rooms. Read more

Noah Weiss

Get lost in the Cezanne panoramas, must go

María Fernández

An incredible space to discover not only Monet but also a great modern art collection . Don't miss it!

Karen

Astonishing collection of works by Monet, Manet, and other Impressionist art .

Monica Desai

Truly immersive and relaxing way to take in Monet's work at scale, worth a quick stop every time

Parix @

Perfect grand museum ,with nice collections of impressionist painters ,worth to visite .

Julie Woodgate

Enjoyed this, but watch out for the bonkers bag check-in. They want your bag, but then expect you to keep and carry all your valuables round without your bag, if it's bigger than a small handbag !

Ieva Andrukaitytė

A small but absolutely stunning place. See Monet's water lillies (Les Nympheas) in the oval rooms.

Jeanette Mayland

There isway too much staff in this place but they are friendly and the paintings are beautiful

Carmen Hillebrand

Very impressive to see Monet's nymphéas in their full length. Sit down and take your time looking at them. This museum is a highlight!

joahnna

Small museum but worth visiting to see Monet's waterlilies... They have a nice small selection of other artists too.

Elizabeth Lee

How fitting to have Monet's Water Lillies collection here. Collection is equally impressive as other famous museums in Paris and manageable to view .

J

Great not-huge museum , the Monet panels are amazing and the rest of the collection is quite good too.

Kristyn Ulanday

Monet's water lilies are incredible. Take a lot of time to sit there and contemplate.

RJ DeMello

Favorite museum in Paris so far!

Gerry Waldron

Amazing Monet gigantic paintings . Not much else there but worth the visit

Roberto Marchi

Beautiful Monet paintings , x-large. End of his life, incredible still!
