Went here in February and the collection was marvelous! My mother is an art history professor so we were very excited to see how great the collection was and with so much space we didn't feel cramped or pushed to move quickly from one item to another. We could take our time and enjoy every piece as much as we... More

As with almost all museums in Paris this is a must see. Procure a Museum Pass for your trip and see as many as you can see but soak in the experience. More

There are so many masters, painters and sculptors shown, you just can't take it all in in one visit. Trying to give an adequate description would wind up inadequate anyway. The web site is a good intro. We has lunch in the main dining hall which is worth a visit on it's own, but get there early, there's a waiting... More
