Musee de l'Orangerie, Paris, France Situated in the beautifully manicured Tuileries Gardens, the Orangerie transformed into a museum in the early 20th century when Paris’s over-crowded museums needed new galleries. The Orangerie most famously houses the series of various waterlilies Monet granted to France thanks to his friendship with George Clemenceau, which earned their own private gallery space. The expansive collection of 19th century and early 20th century paintings features works by other famous Impressionists and those who came after. View Cezanne’s studies of fruits and flowers, seductive portraits by Matisse, and various phases of Picasso’s career through several nudes. Other artists including Modigliani, Renoir, and Utrillo, all make the Orangerie a must-visit for anyone who appreciates French art and the Impressionist movement. 120 minutes

The water lily rooms are spectacular. Michel, our guide, gave us background and interesting stories which brought the art culture alive. He was wonderful.

Our guide, Emilie, was excellent. We were caught up in traffic and a few minutes late and it was no issue.
Emilie was extremely knowledgeable about the pieces in the Orangerie and told us a lot of interesting back stories about the artists. We can’t wait to come back to Paris and explore more now that we know so much more about the artists.
Also, a quick shout out to the Orangerie, which is the hidden gem of the Paris Art museums. A great, yet small, collection.
5 stars!
