Marmottan Monet Museum

The Musée Marmottan Monet occupies a 19th‑century private mansion at the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, originally a hunting lodge for the Duke of Valmy and later owned by Jules and Paul Marmottan. Bequeathed to the Académie des Beaux-Arts, the house opened to the public as the Musée Marmottan in 1934. The domestic hôtel particulier interiors were adapted for exhibition while preserving Empire-style rooms and a garden outlook. After Michel Monet’s 1966 bequest, new subterranean galleries were created in the 1960s to display large ensembles of Monet’s paintings, and the institution adopted the name Musée Marmottan Monet in the 1990s. The entrance is at 2 Rue Louis-Boilly in Paris’s 16th arrondissement.
