A cheeky reply to the Monet exhibition at the Grand Palais, the Musée Marmottan – that refused to lend any of its paintings – is presenting a spectacular exhibition of its own with the entire contents of its Monet collection, the biggest in the whole wide world! Wow!

If you are coming to Paris especially for the exceptional Monet exhibition at the Grand Palais, don’t misss the othere ehibition of his work at the Musée Marmottan. Almost the entire building will be used to show the 136 works they have by the master painter. The chance of a lifetime to see it all in one go!

For instance, you’ll be able to see his painting “Impression, Sun Rising”, the one that gave Impressionism its name. It’s not every day that a museum shows off everything it has (one wonders what they’ll do next to top this one!).

The exhibition Monet : son Musée (Monet: his museum) is at the Musée Marmottan (here) from 7th October 2010 – 20th February 2010.

Open every day except Mondays from 11am -6pm. Late night opening Tuesdays until 9pm. Closed 25th December and 1st January.

Admission: 9€/5€. Free for under-8s.
