Traveler reviews
Evette
★★★★★11 months agoNice museum that has a very lovely garden & café I would recommend going on a weekday, due to the small size of the rooms & how crowded they can be, which makes it difficult to enjoy the art. The line can seem long, but it goes by pretty quickly. I would also recommend going toward the later afternoon to sunset (during autumn/winter).
Felix the person
★★★★★2 months agoVery nice tranquil museum and cafe you can access the cafe alone for 6 euros too if you wish. The exhibitions a were very interesting too about the art and history of Montmartre and the old cabaret shows. Definately worth the visit.
