    One of my hidden gems in Paris. I didn’t expect much at first since admission to the permanent collection is free, while most others charge an entrance fee. But so glad I ended up spending the entire afternoon here. The museum is spacious, with an impressive collection. Alongside lesser-known works by renowned artists like Matisse, Bonnard, Soutine, and Modigliani. They also host temporary exhibitions that are worth visiting, and are surprisingly affordable. Cant recommend this enough!

    One of the best museums in Paris. I really enjoyed the work the Spirit of Electricity displayed in the main hall. You can tell the museum puts a lot of effort to make the interactive display. Also, it is FREE for everyone to see the permanent exhibition. Highly recommended this beautiful place.
