Anh Nguyen
★★★★★a month agoA great museum—small in size but definitely worth a visit thanks to its impressive collection. Nestled right next to a large park, it’s best known for its Monet works, and the room dedicated to Morisot is a particularly pleasant surprise. I visited during the Giovanni Segantini exhibition, which was very well organized and thoughtfully presented The museum app made it easy to scan artworks and access additional information. The staff were also friendly and helpful.

★★★★★3 months agoGreat museum and art gallery in a lovely building. The specially constructed basement gallery displaying the Monet paintings was particularly effective and impressive. I was disappointed there weren't more of Bethe Morisot's works on show as I specifically visited to see her paintings. Worthwhile booking ahead to arrive at opening time as it filled up within the hour and it was more difficult to view the paintings. Highly recommended, especially if you are interested in Impressionism.
