The event brings together young and old, the curious and the passionate, to take advantage of a maximum number of good deals. Every year, the program is so extensive that it's hard not to find something to your liking.

For the 20th Nuit des Musées in Paris, this charming museum invites us to discover its treasures during a free nocturne with a special program.
This artistic and cultural education project, carried out in collaboration between the Musée Marmottan Monet and two CM1 classes from the Ecole Amiral Roussin, offers a fresh look at Impressionist paintings.
During several sessions at the museum and in the classroom, pupils discover and work on the notions of détournement and appropriation through the Impressionist works of Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot.
What would Monet have depicted today? Would the water lily pond still be so beautiful and colorful? If Monet had traveled to Japan, what would he have liked to show? How can a 19th-century painting be interpreted in 2024? What message can I convey with an Impressionist painting? The children, through their artistic detour, will welcome the public and explain their project.
The Musée Marmottan Monet is working with pupils from a CM1 class at La Fontaine school on the theme of the Middle Ages, as part of the "Class, Work!" program.
During several sessions at the museum and in the classroom, the pupils were able to discover stories, illuminations and medieval lettering preserved at the Musée Marmottan Monet. For European Museum Night 2024, the public is invited to plunge into the heart of the legends of the Middle Ages and the little-known treasures of the museum in the company of pupils from La Fontaine school. The evening will include a concert of medieval songs and the discovery of strange dragons and medieval legends.
Paul Marmottan's magnificent mansion, with its well-preserved Empire decor, is now home to the Musée Marmottan Monet. In addition to its Haute Epoque (paintings, sculptures, illuminations) and Empire collections, it is home to the world's first collection of works by Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot. A Mecca of Impressionism, it also houses numerous masterpieces by Delacroix, Boudin, Manet, Degas, Caillebotte, Sisley, Pissarro, Gauguin and Rodin. Chagall represents the Modern era.
Come and discover its treasures during a 20-minute flash visit guided by a cultural mediator.
