Musée Marmottan Monet, Art museum in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Musée Marmottan Monet contains over three hundred Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, displaying the largest collection of Claude Monet's works worldwide.

Initially a hunting lodge for the Duke of Valmy, Jules Marmottan acquired the building in 1882 before his son Paul later expanded the art collection.

The museum received Michel Monet's donation in 1966, transforming it from an Empire period collection into a center of Impressionist art.

Located at 2 rue Louis Boilly, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM, with extended hours until 9 PM on Thursdays.

Five masked gunmen stole nine paintings in 1985, including Impression Sunrise, which authorities recovered five years later in Corsica.
