The mansion built for François Christophe Edmond Kellermann, duke of Valmy, who purchased the land (formerly a pleasure garden) in 1863; in 1882 it was sold to Jules Marmottan, inherited by his son Paul Marmottan in 1883. Marmottan decorated the building in the Empire style ("Le Style Empire"), bequeathing it and his collection to Académie des Beaux-Arts, on his death in 1932. Between 1940-7 Victorine Donop de Monchy donated her father's collection of Impressionist painting and then, in 1966, more than 100 Monets (including a number of large Water Lilies) were bequeathed by Michel Monet (son of Claude Monet).
