Varun ShettyJune 18, 2014An 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 SigelMay 28, 2015Don'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 LandauJune 14, 2015It'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.
Upvoted Mar 27- Nola DolanAugust 4, 2016My 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!Upvoted 4 days ago
Eric AndersenSeptember 14, 2018The 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”.
Emily WilsonJune 16, 2018The 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.
Cody GriggersNovember 18, 2014Brilliantly 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 GongAugust 10, 2014An 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
Bianca BuenoAugust 11, 2014Even 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 HabitatApril 10, 2012Usually 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.
Bee .November 6, 2018Amazing 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 ✔️👌
Anonymous, since 2018June 3, 2018The 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.
Karin ChiuJune 16, 2013Compact 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!
Dave ChuNovember 3, 2015Easily one of the best museum in Paris. A hidden gem where you are inches away from the works of Picasso and Renoir.
Anastasya BurmistovaNovember 19, 2018For 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.
Ана ЛековићFebruary 6, 2018Come 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.
Nicole ForbesApril 4, 2017Worth it if only for the water Lillies. It has great paintings from impressionists
- Sofia PapastamelosJanuary 27, 2015Great curation of pieces by Renoir, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, and more! Smaller, less crowded, and easier to conquer than d'orsay. Get the audio guide!
Katy ZackAugust 21, 2016Surround yourself with two rooms of Monet's waterlilies. Also features an incredible private collection of Renoir, Derain, Cezanne and more
Kris VerdeyenNovember 4, 2016My 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
Stephen SheppardMay 1, 2023Went for the Matisse exhibition, which was great. Saw many other impressionist and post-impressionist works that were wonderful. Very impressive collection.
RahafJune 21, 2015Very nice museum worth visiting on a sunday morning and try to rent one of the audioguides it really helps
Andreas NellasApril 1, 2013Such 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.
Mike McGeisAugust 6, 2011Absolute stunning museum! Monets huge Waterlilies painings (as seen in Woody Allens Midnight in Paris) and very nice collection of Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso and Monet
S Marks The SpotsMarch 31, 2013If 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
Lisa StarbucksAugust 4, 2018Best museum in Paris. It's small but has the best collection with monet's nympheas.
Leah RaddishApril 8, 2015An 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.
Alex CurielDecember 19, 2018Beautiful museum located not far from the Louvre! Their collection is almost exclusively made of Monet’s paintings, including the water lilies!
Matt RosenbergApril 15, 2013Monet'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.
Candace MetzgerJune 23, 2019Must 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...❤️❤️❤️
Cilane GalloisFebruary 19, 2015Nympheas 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
Felipe IglesiasSeptember 2, 2015Is 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€!
Elizabeth LeeDecember 1, 2014How fitting to have Monet's Water Lillies collection here. Collection is equally impressive as other famous museums in Paris and manageable to view.
Jeanette MaylandDecember 22, 2019There isway too much staff in this place but they are friendly and the paintings are beautiful
💎TJanuary 20, 2017Beautiful Monet! The rooms containing them have seats and you can really sit there and admire them in all it's glory.
Scott LuxJanuary 1, 2019One 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
Parix @July 7, 2017Perfect grand museum ,with nice collections of impressionist painters,worth to visite .
Julie WoodgateAugust 30, 2012Enjoyed 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!
joahnnaSeptember 8, 2016Small museum but worth visiting to see Monet's waterlilies... They have a nice small selection of other artists too.- Ieva AndrukaitytėMay 18, 2016A small but absolutely stunning place. See Monet's water lillies (Les Nympheas) in the oval rooms.
- JMarch 1, 2016Great not-huge museum, the Monet panels are amazing and the rest of the collection is quite good too.
RosalineFebruary 5, 2015This is a good one if u have a short attention span. Nymphéas is beautiful but everything else is lacking. If u r wanting a breadth of Impressionist art, skip this & head straight to D'Orsay.
Christos SOctober 19, 2015Great museum,with a very good collection of paintings.What really bothered me though is that no employee seemed to speak English
María FernándezJune 10, 2014An incredible space to discover not only Monet but also a great modern art collection. Don't miss it!
Kristyn UlandayAugust 1, 2015Monet's water lilies are incredible. Take a lot of time to sit there and contemplate.
Dave GAugust 11, 2014One of my favorite museums. Get your tickets in advance & you won't have to wait in a long line.
Pelin - The pAristiqueFebruary 7, 2015I loved this museum! I went there with my 3 yrs old daughter. Claude Monet paintings are wonderful
Gerry WaldronOctober 4, 2019Amazing Monet gigantic paintings. Not much else there but worth the visit
Roberto MarchiDecember 24, 2018Beautiful Monet paintings, x-large. End of his life, incredible still!
