(Last Update: 10.01.2026) As I always say One of the biggest features that distinguishes villages in France from villages as we know them is, in addition to dreamy houses and landscaping in those villages, most of the time There are quality restaurants, conservatories, dance schools, art galleries and even valuable museums..
Inhabited by only around 500 people GivernyThere is also such a valuable museum in , which is visited by flocks of people: Musée des Impressionnismes – Museum of Impressionism...
80 kilometers from Paris a cute village GivernyThe reason why this museum, located in , is so famous is not only the works exhibited in it. Of course, those who love to follow the traces of art, especially This museum can be enjoyed by impressionism enthusiasts. more, Claud Monet's House in GivernyIt is a very special place that those who come to visit may want to see additionally after this trip.
Already Giverny a tiny village because, While we're at Monet's house, After visiting that paradise garden, visiting the Impressionism Museum will add beauty to your day. There are three things you should pay attention to: Dates the museum is open, which seasonal exhibitions are on and GivernyWhen is it appropriate to go to .
Especially I should underline that The museum is not open all year roundThe days it is open vary depending on the season and the status of the exhibitions. Therefore, it is important to check whether the museum is open on the date you plan to go on the official website at the end of the article.
Anyway, we too Giverny When we went to this village to prepare the article, it was the beginning of July 2016, even though we had previously purchased tickets. Monet's house after traveling, GivernyWhen we wanted to visit the museum after a nice walk in , we were saddened to see that it was closed, so we said "next time" and left the village. However, if we had looked at the website, this would not have happened. Well Do what the imam says, don't do what he does. : )
And that's it next time It fell in mid-September 2016. In that season GivernyWe didn't expect that nature, or rather nature, could be this beautiful. Especially when we set out on a 80-kilometer road just to visit this museum and tell you about it. La Roche Guyon We discovered a village called, the magnificent places in this village. La Roche-Guyon CastleTraveling around is another story.
Earlier GivernySince we have been to , several times, this time we easily left our car in the parking lot on the village side. When we got out of the car and walked towards the village and reached the street, we found the Impressionism Museum right in front of us. We had already bought our tickets, so we got in immediately without waiting in line, but by the way, it is not necessary to buy your tickets in advance 😉
In this museum, exhibitions of the valuable names of the impressionism movement are mainly organized and 2-3 seasonal exhibitions every year is being carried out. The exhibition we visited in September 2016 was Spanish impressionist Joiquín Sorolla, muh-te-şemmm It was an exhibition. I don't remember how long I spent in front of the paintings.
Since there are - mostly - periodic exhibitions in the three halls on the upper floor, you will not be able to see the paintings in the photographs you see in this article in this museum in later seasons, because you will encounter another exhibition when you go there. You can also check the official website of the museum to see which exhibition will be held during your visit.
As you will appreciate, I do not have the chance to watch every periodic exhibition and update these photos. Luckily for me, an exhibition by a valuable painter like Sorolla came across and it became a great source for the museum's promotional article. If impressionism is your interest, three important museums you should see in Paris Please also note that: Marmottan Museum – Musée Marmottan, Orangerie Museum – Musée de l'Orangerie ve Orsay Museum – Musée d'Orsay
Well, isn't there a place in this museum where permanent works are exhibited? Of course there is. For this, you need to go down to the -relatively- small hall downstairs, because mostly permanent works are exhibited here. To be honest - I don't know if it was because of the extraordinary periodic exhibition we visited - after seeing the works on the upper floor, the ones on the lower floor did not seem that impressive to me. Therefore, before entering this museum, it is useful to know which seasonal exhibition you will visit.
For most people, the Museum of Impressionism comes from Paris. 80 kilometers road It may not be a museum worth visiting after going through it, but Monet's House in Giverny, around paris must see a place Because after visiting there GivernyI can't help but say that there is a wonderful museum that should be visited after wandering around and having a nice meal.
Speaking of food; well Giverny I wrote about eating in this village. Restaurant BaudyI recommend , but for those who will visit the museum, the museum's own cafe-restaurant may also be a nice option. But I still think it would be enjoyable to take a coffee break in the museum cafe. in fine weather Restaurant Baudy's garden idyllic is happening. here too heaven, that's where heaven, I don't know :) The decision is yours.
After your museum tour, visit the museum's restaurant Le Terra CaféWhile you sit and sip your coffee in , you will enjoy this paradise garden - if the weather is nice. The air you will breathe is already fresh. You have just seen beautiful works of art, your eyes and heart have been enlightened in a different way; What more could there be?
garden of the museum It is not very big longitudinally, but it goes horizontally along the museum façade. With its slightly labyrinth-like arrangement, you see an interesting landscape in every corner.
according to season It is also a pleasure to visit this garden where you will get lost among all kinds of flowers. Maybe even if you are not going to visit the museum, it would be good to enter the gate and take a stroll in the garden. entrance to the garden is free.
In fact, the things you will encounter in the meadows on the left side of the museum are hay bales It will also be quite impressive. The fact that this theme, which Monet and other impressionists worked on many times, appears before you in its real form, gives you the feeling that you are inside the work of art, on the line between dream and reality.
I think if you're coming to Paris for a long time, or if you've been to Paris a few times before and want to do something different this time. GivenyYou should definitely see - in good weather. Here Monet's house After visiting, it's okay if you also visit the Impressionism Museum. Eh Monet's grave is also in Giverny already. I think it will be an unforgettable day.
Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries.
