A small but beautiful and noteworthy museum in central Paris that should not be missed. Magnificent and tranquil.

Fantastic gallery with lots to see and love. Feels really manageable for families with young kids v D’Orsay & Louvre - absolutely worth booking ahead. After 1hr of “good behaviour” you are right next.... more

Absolutely one of the best places to stop while in town! They have all of the water lilies by Monet and it was not crowded at all! It is right down the street from the Louvre and you have to stop in. The water lilies have been there for over 100 years and the rooms they are displayed in were designed to specifically hold them. There are 2 egg shaped rooms with 4 massive paintings in each, very very beautiful!

The rooms are nearly as beautiful as the paintings, with beautiful light and curves. They ask that you be silent as you visit, which a lot of people ignore. There's a great video on the "Great Art Explained" YouTube channel that's covers the history of Monet's waterlilies that I'd recommend watching before visiting. It adds a lot to the understanding and enjoyment.
