Musee Marmottan Monet

The Musee Marmottan Monet is home to the largest collection of Monets in the world, in addition to some disparate tapestries, decorative arts, and older paintings. I checked it out today with my art history class, and it's worth going up there just to get a little bit outside of Paris. It's on the La Muette metro stop off the 9, which is a really tony residential area with amazing parks.

The highlight for me was the Camille Claudel exhibit, which is closing on the 31st. I've been interested in her ever since I saw the movie Camille Claudel in french class back in high school.

I'd definitely reccomend the museum for a quick jaunt out of busy central Paris. It's charming and definitely not too huge to have a go at it in an hour or so.
