Paris cache of Monets

-

I enjoyed Donna Kato’s article “As Glamorous as Louvre, but Without the Crowds” [June 7].

I’d like to add onemore Paris museum to her list. The Musée Marmottan Monet is named after Paul Marmottan, wh odonated his beautiful home to house his collection­s. In1966, when Monet’s son Michel died in an automobile accident, the museum received more than 130works by the artist, including “Impression, Sunrise,” fromwhich the Impression­ist movement is said to have gotten its name.

Besides the well-known water lilies and paintings of the artist’s house in Giverny, France, you’ll also see Renoir’s portrait of Monet.
