What people say

"One of my hidden gems in Paris. I didn’t expect much at first since admission to the permanent collection is free, while most others charge an entrance fee. But so glad I ended up spending the entire afternoon here. The museum is spacious, with an impressive collection. Alongside lesser-known works by renowned artists like Matisse, Bonnard, Soutine, and Modigliani. They also host temporary exhibitions that are worth visiting, and are surprisingly affordable. Cant recommend this enough!"
