The Marmottan Museum is housed in a building that was once the hunting lodge of the Duke of Valmy. It was sold in 1882 to Jules Marmottan, a wealthy businessman and avid art collector. He left it to his son Paul when he died one year later. Paul Marmottan expanded both the building and the collection. He bequeathed to the Academy des Beaux-Arts and it was opened as a museum in 1934.

They don’t build hunting lodges like this anymore!
Monet’s work is soothing to the soul. Thanks for all the wonderful images.

Sound cliche it may be, such lovely paintings as Mone’s often work as a calming agent. As always, many thanks for the post.
