Admire Monet's Water Lilies and more Impressionist masterpieces inside
Tour Details
The Musée de l'Orangerie is a gallery of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, and while the larger-than-life Water Lilies by Monet are definitely the main event, they're far from the only reason to visit. Located in an old orangerie in the heart of Paris, this museum is notable for having an impressive number of Monets in a decadently light and airy setting. If you're looking for a more intimate experience than the Louvre, then Musée de l'Orangerie tickets could be for you.
What Makes This Tour Special
The museum’s unique feature is its two oval rooms specifically designed to display Monet's Water Lilies panoramically, creating a tranquil and immersive environment unlike typical gallery spaces.
Exclusive display of Monet’s monumental Water Lilies series in the artist-designed setting.
Compact museum allowing for an intimate and contemplative art experience.
Located in the picturesque Jardin des Tuileries, enhancing the visit with beautiful outdoor surroundings.
Rich collection including other Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters beyond Monet.
Less crowded and more accessible than larger Parisian museums like the Louvre.
Historical Background
The Musée de l'Orangerie is housed in a former orangery originally built in 1852 in the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. It was transformed into an art museum in 1927 to showcase Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, including Claude Monet's monumental Water Lilies series, which were installed in specially designed oval rooms.

Louvre Museum Private 2-h Tour on Italian Art and masterpieces
By booking this 2-hour privately guided tour of the Louvre, you avoid the challenge of navigating the vast museum alone and gain detailed insight into the art, especially Italian pieces, from a personal guide. The Louvre’s size commands attention. The largest museum in the world stretches 700 m along the Seine, forming a maze of rooms. It holds more than 35,000 artworks; viewing them all would take nine months. How can you prevent wasting your ticket and spending hours wandering the corridors exhausted, unable to see the Mona Lisa? Follow one of our tour guides. We offer an itinerary focused on the Italian and French great masters: Canova, Michelangelo, Cimabue, Giotto, Veronese, Géricault, Ingres, David. The Venus of Milo, the Nike of Samothrace, and, of course, the Mona Lisa remain central to our routes.

Skip-the-Line Rodin Tour with Artist
Hailed as the Michelangelo of modern sculpture, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) undeniably revolutionized this ancient medium. Through his modeling of clay and ardent experiments with the human form, Rodin captured the deepest passions while simultaneously reflecting on the fragility of existence. On the tour, you will experience Rodin’s studio process through the eyes of an artist. Your artist-guide will provide unique insight into the sculptor's diverse techniques in a manner understandable for all audiences. It would be an absolute delight to explore with you how the twisted, dancing limbs; the monumental, immersive enlargements; the bursting blocks of raw stone and polished skin; the entangled, sinuous bodies; the singular mind and powerful hand of Rodin transformed the art of sculpture into living flesh, sublime movement, pure expression.
