Paul Marmottan in the context of "Art historian"

The Musée Marmottan Monet (French pronunciation: [myze maʁmɔtɑ̃ mɔnɛ]; English: Marmottan Monet Museum) is an art museum in Paris, France, dedicated to artist Claude Monet. The collection features over three hundred Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings by Monet, including his 1872 Impression, Sunrise. A number of Impressionist works by other painters are also displayed; the museum hosts the largest Berthe Morisot public collection in the world.

The museum finds its origin in the 1932 donation by art historian Paul Marmottan of his father's pavillon de chasse, that he transformed into an hôtel particulier and which now houses the museum, to the Académie des Beaux-Arts, along with a sizeable family collection from the Renaissance and the Napoleonic era. The museum opened in 1934; its fame is the result of a donation in 1966 by Michel Monet, Claude's second son and only heir.

The Bibliothèque Marmottan (French pronunciation: [biblijɔtɛk maʁmɔtɑ̃]), located in the Parisian suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt, is a public library bequeathed in 1932 to the Académie des Beaux-Arts by its founder Paul Marmottan.

Dedicated to the First French Empire and open to readers interested in this period, it contains some 25,000 books and periodicals, making it one of the largest Napoleonic libraries in the world.
