Musée de l'Orangerie: Entrance ticket & Audio Tour on Mobile App

Set within a former orangerie on the edge of the Tuileries Gardens, the Musée de l'Orangerie is one of Paris’s most intimate and contemplative art spaces. The museum is renowned for the two oval rooms that display Claude Monet’s Water Lilies — expansive, immersive canvases that invite slow looking and quiet reflection. Beyond Monet, the institution has a notable collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works that reflect the revolutionary artistic movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Visitors will find masterworks and familiar names that chart the development of modern art. At times the galleries present temporary exhibitions that place these familiar works in fresh contexts; recent shows have highlighted artists such as Seurat and Matisse, extending the conversation between impressionism and modernity. The compact layout makes the museum easy to enjoy without the fatigue of a larger venue, encouraging visitors to linger where they are most moved. A multimedia audio guide delivered on mobile devices offers commentary and context, allowing guests to explore at their own pace and deepen their appreciation of individual works and the building’s history.
