About
The Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny, also known as the Museum of Impressionisms Giverny or MIG, is a museum dedicated to Impressionism and its legacy. It stands in Giverny, a village in Normandy, at 99 Rue Claude Monet, 27620 Giverny, France.
What you will see
The museum presents rotating exhibitions of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works. Its focus is on the artistic movement that grew out of this part of France, so visitors can follow how painters working in the region shaped a way of seeing light, colour and landscape. Because the displays change, each visit may offer a different selection.
Why visit
The museum sits near Monet's famous garden, which makes it a natural companion to a visit to the village. Many art lovers come from around the world to combine the two, moving from the galleries to the places that inspired the painters themselves.
