7ème ARRONDISSEMENT.   This mammoth iron-and-glass former railway station built to bring visitors to the World Fair in 1900 was transformed into an art museum in 1986. The museum's holdings date from 1848 through World War I, showcasing the world's largest collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings and sculptures, by such luminaries as Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Van Gogh and Gauguin, along with galleries devoted to the applied arts. Note that part of the museum is closed for refurbishment until March 2011. METRO: Solférino (line 12)   (© 10Best)

Great
I went here after the louvre and i wished i would have just gone to this one. It is beautiful in itself then add in all the artwork, well worth your money. Shorter lines and less crowded with better art then the other galleries...

Ideally one should spend days here. However, my friends and I dashed thru in a manner of hours.... I would have loved to stay longer, each room was an experience! It is awe inspiring to see the originals. No print can do the masters' justice. You cannot imagine how the artist applies the paint on the canvas; the way Vangogh sculpts with paints! A wonderful collection of many artists, including at least one female and US artist, Mary Casset!
