Musee de l’Orangerie
Located in the Tuileries Gardens, the Orangerie was transformed into a museum in the early 1900s to address overcrowding at other Paris museums. It houses Monet’s water lilies in a special gallery created through his friendship with Georges Clemenceau. The collection includes 19th and early 20th century paintings by artists such as Cézanne, who painted studies of fruits and flowers; Matisse, known for his portraits; Picasso, whose works include various nudes; and others like Modigliani, Renoir, and Utrillo. The museum highlights French art and the Impressionist movement.
