Love it. To see the water lily ponds. You can also walk in if you don’t have tickets in advance. It’d be hard to book a few days earlier. But it’s very possible to go without advanced tickets.

The museum is smal...

Wonderful smallish museum in Paris. The building was especially designed to showcase Claude Monet's large impressionist paintings from his estate in Giverny. They were painted to be shown on the curved walls. The design takes full advantage of the natural lighting. The lower galleries showcase various French artists so the exhibitions will change.

I can’t put into words how incredible this museum was! I came specifically to see Monet’s work, and it truly blew me away — so serene and moving. Even if you’re not usually into art, I’d still highly recommend a visit. The atmosphere is calming, and there’s something for everyone. They even have a children’s activity area, which is a lovely touch for families, as well as a few other types of art ...
