Musee Marmotan Monet (museum marmotan mone or museum magmotan mone) in Paris, peripheral It is a very special museum that is not known by many people, although it is in the museum, and those who know it show great interest, and it deserves this attention.

Between them Michel Monet, son of Claude MonetThanks to many donors, including , very important donations were made to the Marmottan Museum and the museum's collection expanded and expanded; It has taken its current form over the years. Today Marmottan Monet Museum is the museum that houses the most valuable Monet collection. It is accepted as. Me too, until the day I first published this article. Orsay Museumin Impressionists Galleryand Orangery Museumand of course also Givernyin Monet's HouseI knew 'as the place where we could see the most important works of Monet. Yes, those places are also very valuable and very special, but this museum has a special place…

I had been to the Marmot Monet Museum before, when I first settled in Paris, but I realized the last time I went here to write this article, that I did not visit the museum properly because my mind was in a cloud at that time... Once upon a time, as soon as I entered the door of the museum and reached the first hall, During my last visit, I realized how beautiful this building, which Paul Marmottan used as a house, was.
I was about to start taking photos when an officer said, "Taking photos is prohibited here" said! So as you see All photographs taken inside the museum in this article were taken secretly. : ) Since I took the photos secretly and quickly, they were not very beautiful, but I would ask you not to look at their flaws anymore :)

As you tour the interior of the two-storey house, you admire its architecture, the furnishings, and the paintings on the walls. To follow the suggested travel direction “sens de la visiteJust follow the ” arrows. There is a section with periodical exhibitions on the ground floor. You can find news and current prices about periodic exhibitions in the links at the end of the article.
The seasonal exhibition "Art and Children" that I visited was very impressive. It was a truly impressive experience to watch side by side the magnificent paintings depicting the childhood periods of historical figures who became kings, queens or held important positions at different levels of the state in France.

Located at the back of the ground floor museum shopI recommend that you do not enter immediately, but wait a bit. I think, after finishing the ground floor, you should continue your tour from the upper floor without entering here. When you go up the stairs in the middle of the building, you go around a few rooms and look at the paintings on the walls. You can't help but look at the bed in Paul Marmottan's bedroom and think, "What strange beds people sleep in." On the other hand, it was donated to the museum. Berthe Morisot There is a hall with works of art and medieval miniatures and stained glass displayed in a dark atmosphere. Enlumineurs You visit the living room and then go downstairs.
After visiting two floors of the building, I was asking myself "this museum shouldn't be this big, I remember a lot of Monet paintings here" when I noticed the stairs leading down to the basement :) When I went down to the basement floor, I saw the giant Claude Monet sign greeting me at the door, and then I realized that I had reached the place I really wanted to see.

Once you enter, it's a huge hall and rows of Monet paintings lined up on the walls. Of course, they are all beautiful, but the most valuable one for me is “Impression, Soleil Levant – Impression, Sunrise" table. I probably spent about ten minutes trying to secretly take a photo of the painting whose photo you see at the beginning of the article :) I'm sorry, that's all I could take :) I love this painting so much that I have a reproduction of it at home.
After taking a few tours among the Monet paintings on the basement floor, you reach the other stairs by following the "sens de la visite" arrows and when you go to the upper floor, that is, the ground floor. museum shopYou realize you've come to . You can hardly resist buying souvenirs from here. We bought one of the luggage tags in the shape of a Monet painting, which we have been looking for for a long time :) This is how we completed our trip.

While visiting the Marmottan Monet Museum, one imagines that he had a house like this, where he collected paintings, and then turned that house into a museum, with his own surname and the surname of the painter with the largest collection, side by side. What can you do, my dreams of wealth are like this...
Marmottan Monet Museum is open every day of the week, except Monday, between 10:00-18:00. On Thursday evenings, it can be visited until 21:00. M9 from Marmot to Monet Museum by metro to come The Mute after getting off at the station Chaussee de la MuetteYou can reach it by walking straight from . That walking path is also very enjoyable.
Take a walk after your trip Forest of BoulogneYou can continue on, wander around La Muette and get lost, or even take the bus stop number 32 right in front of the museum. to the public bus if you wish by riding Trocadero, if you wish Champs-Elysees, if you wish Gare Saint Lazare You can go to the side.
If you like Monet, here are the places you should see in Paris other than this museum: Orsay Museum, Orangerie Museum and near Paris Givernyin Monet's House I would also like to remind you that it is.
Stay with art…

It is one of the most beautiful museums that should be visited. We did not visit it because we did not know about it. Thank you for your efforts and information transfer.
It is definitely a very valuable museum. If not on your first visit to Paris, you should take the opportunity to visit it on subsequent visits...
Thank you for your comment.
Hello Mr. Ahmet,
I want to buy a reproduction painting. You also said that you bought a painting by Monet. Where did you buy it? Are there any affordable places in Paris where we can buy it? I want to buy an exact reproduction of an oil painting. Are there any places in Paris that make paintings of artists such as Caravaggio, Monet, Picasso in this way? If you have any information, what are the prices? I'm looking for them in Turkey and I can't find them. The closest ones are made in China and come from China or America, but as you know, it's a problem to buy them because there is a customs tax, you have to buy them from the port or something. If I can find them during my trip to Paris, I want to buy them and bring them to Turkey, I think I would like to buy some of them. There is also a tax-free application for things, but I don't know if I can bring this part into the dormitory. If you have information about this, I would be very happy if you could share it. I mean, can we easily bring this type of painting we bought there to Turkey from the airport? Thank you very much for the information, best regards.
Hello Meltem,
I think I expressed it wrongly, the painting we bought is just a paper print, not an exact oil painting; I wish we could get something like that, it would be really nice.
Therefore, unfortunately, I do not know where you can find such paintings or how they can be taken to Turkey.
I also have a large painting that was given to me as a gift by a friend in Istanbul, but I could not bring it to Paris.
Let's hope that maybe someone who reads this article and knows these issues will answer your question.
I wish you happy days.
