Elizabeth Van Hest recommends the Marmottan Museum for viewing Monet's works, as his son donated many of his paintings there. For impressionist sculpture, she suggests the Rodin Museum, which was Rodin's last studio and offers a glimpse into the artist's creative space.
“Now, if you want to see more of Monet's great paintings in Paris, what's another gallery you would go to? Well, I would say, go to Marmottan. Don't miss Marmottan Museum.”
“That is where the son of Monet donated all the artwork that was still in Giivani, you see, he had one son who inherited, when the son died, Michel, he donated it to the Marmottan Museum.”
“If we want to get a dose of that, what should we do? Well, then you should go and visit the Rodin Museum. It is the place where Rodin had his last studio, the last years of his life.”
