The Musée Marmottan Monet at 2 Rue Louis-Boilly in Paris's 16th arrondissement occupies a former hunting lodge bought in 1882. The article names no building architect or client and gives no construction dates. Jacque Carlu, a later curator, built the lower-level Monet gallery. Paul Marmottan left the house and collection to the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
The infobox lists 1934 as the establishment date, but the text says the donation was in 1932 and the museum opened in 1934. The article names no building style, materials or dimensions.
In 1985, five gunmen stole nine paintings, including Impression, Sunrise, and police recovered them in Corsica in 1990. Michel Monet's 1966 donation created the largest Monet collection. The museum has over 300 Monet works and the largest public Berthe Morisot collection. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
