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]
