Getting started
Begin your visit at the Orangerie Museum, nestled within the picturesque Tuileries Garden in central Paris. After a brief security check at the entrance, step into the museum dedicated to some of France’s most beloved artistic treasures.
What to expect
Enjoy a self-paced exploration of Claude Monet’s monumental Water Lilies and other Impressionist paintings. Designed to be viewed in natural light, these works offer a meditative experience few museums can match.
Monet’s immersive vision
Head to Level 0 to experience the eight Water Lilies murals installed in oval rooms. Conceived by Monet in 1909, the Nymphéas Room is known as a “room for peaceful meditation amidst a flowering aquarium,” reminiscent of the artist’s vision of nature and reflection.
Masterpieces beyond Monet
Continue your journey through the museum’s permanent collection, featuring works by leading artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries:
Gabrielle and Jean by Pierre-Auguste Renoir – a tender portrait capturing the warmth of domestic life.
The Young Apprentice by Amedeo Modigliani – a striking portrait with the artist’s signature melancholy and style.
Pommes et Biscuits by Paul Cézanne – a masterful still life that redefined modern composition.
Rotating exhibitions
The Orangerie also hosts temporary exhibitions showcasing modern and contemporary works in dialogue with its permanent collection, offering fresh perspectives on classic and contemporary art.
A peaceful cultural retreat
Set apart from the city’s usual hustle, the Orangerie Museum offers a relaxed atmosphere perfect for unwinding and reflecting. After your visit, enjoy a leisurely walk through the Tuileries Garden or stop for a break at the museum’s café.
