Itinerary

Musee de l’Orangerie

Nestled within the meticulously maintained Tuileries Gardens, the Orangerie was repurposed into a museum in the early 20th century to address the growing demand for exhibition space in Paris’s overcrowded museums. It is renowned for housing Monet’s iconic Water Lilies series, a gift to France facilitated by the artist’s close relationship with Georges Clemenceau, which are displayed in a dedicated gallery. The museum’s extensive collection also showcases masterpieces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including works by notable Impressionists and their successors. Visitors can admire Cézanne’s studies of fruits and flowers, Matisse’s captivating portraits, and various stages of Picasso’s artistic evolution, highlighted by several of his nudes. The Orangerie also features pieces by Modigliani, Renoir, and Utrillo, making it an essential destination for lovers of French art and the Impressionist era.
