Chapelle de la Visitation, Monaco-Ville

The Chapelle de la Visitation in January 2015

The Museum of the Chapel of Visitation (French: Museé de la Chapelle de la Visitation) is an art museum and Roman Catholic chapel in the Monaco-Ville ward of Monaco.[1] The baroque chapel dates from the 17th-century.[2]

From 1995, the museum was the home of the Barbara-Piasecka Johnson Collection, a collection of Old Master paintings collected by Barbara Piasecka Johnson.[3] The collection was removed from the chapel in May 2014 in preparation for its eventual sale at Christie's auction house in July 2014.[3]
