Explore the hidden gem of the Orangerie Museum, nestled in the tranquil gardens of the Tuileries near Place de la Concorde. Often overshadowed by its larger counterparts like the Louvre and Orsay, this museum is a true temple of Impressionism. Experience the art, history, and beauty of the Orangerie Museum with your knowledgeable guide by your side.
Originally built by Napoleon III in 1852 to protect the citrus trees of the Tuileries Garden from the winter cold, the building is a stunning display of glass architecture designed to let natural light flood in. It was not until 1921 that it was transformed into a museum and now houses some of the most iconic works of French Impressionism.
Your private licensed guide will lead you through the museum's collection of important Impressionist artworks, including the eight large water lilies murals by Claude Monet. These murals, a culmination of 30 years of work, showcase his fascination with capturing light in his beloved gardens of Giverny. The museum also houses 25 masterpieces by Renoir, 15 masterpieces by Cezanne, as well as works by Matisse, Gauguin, Picasso, Modigliani, Sisley, and others.
By the end of the tour you can enjoy a café and visit its bookstore, you can also take a relaxing break under the museum's beautiful glass roof.
