This is a great small museum that is easy to go thru in 1-1.5 hours. The water lilies are amazing, and the permanent exhibits are very pleasant too. Would recommend for people that don't want to spend all day in a museum.

I like museums in small doses and this one is perfect. The very best part are the two special rooms housing eight "Water Lily" murals by Claude Monet. Beautiful!

Lay out and scale...I never realised the paintings were that large in scale. The colours are so beautiful.. The layout was very impressive and modest entry price.
Make sure you walk through the Tuillerie gardens first...

The museum was very easy to get to. Excellent access from Metro and the bus.It was smaller than I had expected but this exhibit was well worth it. There were little couches in the galleries so you could sit and just marvel at the beauty. This museum was in the top 4 attractions in Paris for me.

The juxtaposition of these priceless paintings set in ornate gold frames, hung on stark concrete walls added to the feeling I was viewing precious relics from a by-gone day.
I particularly liked being shown a wider selection of artists from the impressionist era. I met a couple new arts who affected me - Marie Laurencin and Chiam Soutine.
