Marmottan Monet Museum

About

In the light flowing from Claude Monet's Impression, Sunrise, the museum's walls hold a stillness as though embracing the shoreline within the painting. Monet's Camille Monet and a Cousin on the Beach at Trouville captures a flow as if brushed by the wind, while Berthe Morisot's Young Woman at a Ball captures a gaze glimmering in the dark. Opening this building's old wooden door makes one feel a flow of time as if stepping into a room in 19th-century Paris. Walking along the quiet corridor, each moment light touches the wall, the figures within the paintings seem to hold their breath and gaze back at the visitor.
