Museum of Impressionism

in Paris, the world’s largest collection of French paintings of the years 1860-1910. It is generally known as the Musee du Jeu-de-Paume since it occupies the site of the former royal tennis courts. The museum, founded in 1920, is administered by the Louvre. It houses the works of the predecessors of impressionism and the impressionists themselves (Boudin, Jongkind, Manet, Degas, Monet, Pissarro, Sisley, and Renoir) as well as the neoimpressionists and postimpressionists (Cézanne, Seurat, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Toulouse-Lautrec).
