Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny - Nature meets Art
The Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny was initially opened in 1911 as the American Art Museum. In 1992, the architect Philippe Robert was commissioned to transform the historic building into a new museum. Around the gallery that houses the artists of Impressionism, there is a 2.5 hectare impressive garden on the premises, inviting you to marvel and linger.Nature-oriented architecture
The commission given to Robert Philippe was not only to redesign the museum, but especially to embed it into the surrounding landscape in a way that the architecture remains almost invisible. Since the nature around the museum is laid out in carefully planned terraces, the architect also designed the museum so that it seamlessly integrates into the terrace landscape from above.
The garden
The Museum's garden, growing since 1992, houses over 22,000 plants in all conceivable colors and shapes. It is the result of collaboration between the museum's architect, Philippe Robert, and the American landscape architect Mark Rudkin, who is known for his outstanding work in the gardens of the Palais Royal. Especially impressive is the blaze of color between April and October.
Great Artists
The Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny in its gallery offers changing exhibitions. In addition to general themes like Flower Power or Impressionism and the sea, individual exhibitions are also dedicated to the great artists of Impressionism, such as Monet or Renoir.
Diligent little bees
To make a statement about biodiversity and to preserve species diversity, bees were settled in the Museum's garden in April 2023. The diligent insects take on the important task of pollinating the numerous fruit trees and flowering plants. Maybe you can snag a jar of honey in the shop during your visit?
