Claude Monet had an absolute passion for his garden which he designed himself. Unfotunately, decades after his death the house and garden became neglected and abandonded. The gardens opened to the public in 1991 after a long and arduous restoration process which relied on photos and studies from family decendants, and memories of visitors to Giverny decades before. It took 10 years and $12 million - about £8 million - to rebuild and restore the house and gardens back to how it was in Monet's day.
