Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny

The American Impressionist colony gets good coverage at the Musée des Impressionnismes (just up the road from the Fondation Claude Monet). But lovers of the painting movement will also discover a wide-ranging programme of temporary exhibitions aiming to dissect Impressionist movement as a whole, as well as its influence on painting during the second half of the 20th century. As with Claude Monet's house, you can't miss the garden – a sumptuous, contemporary space with monochrome flowerbeds and plunging views onto Giverny's hills.
