Orangerie Museum
Placed in an old greenhouse of the Tuilerieses garden, built in 1852, in front of the Jeu de Palms museum, the Orangerie’s was built in 1927. Its great windows, shining the rooms, made it the ideal place to house the 'Nymphéas' of Monet, that is worth alone the whole visit.
Reorganized and restructured by the architect Camille Lefèvre, the museum has housed the 144 works J. Walter and P. Guillaume’s personal collection, including the paintings of Cézanne, Renoir, Rousseau, Matisse, Derain, Picasso, Modigliani, Soutine, Utrillo and other artists that characterised the passage from the impressionism to the abstract art from 1870 to 1930.
