Rouen Museum of Fine Arts - Meeting of Metropolitan Museums (RMM)

Un vrai trésor insolite! What a wonderful Sunday surprise to find a museum with free (!!) entry, no crowds, and room upon room of abundant chefs d'oeuvre from artists ranging from local stars like Bouton and Zacharie to luminaries such as Renoir, Sisley, Velasquez and Caravaggio. Cherries on top were the absolutely lovely and helpful staff (including the delightful staff member with the gorgeous earring 💜 and the coupe casquette) and the excellent selection in the shop. Also, there's a grand piano you can play surrounded by great art — what a treat!!We'll be back!

The museum building is very handsome. A good section of this museum is free. The artwork and sculptures are amazing. Photo's allowed without flash. There were two staff to answer any questions.

A good surprised with great display. You can see the painting up close, see the brush stroke and smell the paint close. Great building and not crowded with traditional and impressionist arts. And it's free entry, it's a gem.

I knew this placed housed one of my favorite artworks (sons of Clovis) but since it was free I really wasn’t expecting much. I spent hours in there. It’s designed perfectly and has a vast collection, particularly the impressionist room. I wasn’t expecting to see half a dozen amazing Monets. Also the security dude at the entrance really was so friendly and helpful and just put me in a good mood to go and enjoy some of the world’s best art, for free.

Mildly surprised by this place. Lots of stuff you normally pay to see elsewhere is on exhibit for free. Also surprised to find a Carravagio that is meant to be in Naples. A lovely place, not busy and air conditioned

The Monet was a bucket list item. Easy to find. Friendly staff and such a pleasant atmosphere. A variety of amazing artists. There are a few paintings that just blow the mind with their size and complexity. Not sure if wheelchair friendly. The toilets were clean and tidy. Lockers for bags and a curio shop. Well located and has few restaurants in the area. The video attached of the Seine and the artists paintings along the river.

We came during European Culture Day so that there were explanation tours. The explanation was all in French. The museum is large and there are seats for resting.

I missed an entire wing twice when I visited this museum. Fortunately the second time on my way out I asked where the Monet exhibit was, and discovered several rooms of impressionist art that was awesome. Upstairs is where you want to be. Not as impressive as some international museums, but not bad and it is free.

Two fortunate things happened when I came here. Firstly the computers were down so we got in for free, and secondly they had an exhibition on a group of impressionists. In fact a lot of paintings that I didn't see in the Mussee d'Orsay weren't there because they happened to be here. While the exhibition (or exposition as they say it in French) was impressive, the rest of the museum was doubly so. In fact the museum is not only quite large, but also has a pretty decent collection of paintings, and other works of art, as well. In fact it can be easy to get lost. Unfortunately, not all of the halls were open, which was a bit of a shame, but we did get to see quite a lot.

I enjoyed visiting this museum, and it's impressive temporary impressionist art exhibit that was part of the Normany Impressionist Festival in August of 2013. (And as we walked through the exhibit, my husband whispered "Monet, Monet, Monet, Monet - Mo-ne!" to the tune of the song "Money".) There are 2 floors to the museum, and my husband & I explored the beautiful permanent art exhibits as well. It takes an hour or so to get through everything.
