Musée de l'Orangerie

Monet’s waterfall Lillie’s exhibit is none like any place else in the world. A meditative oasis in heart of Paris as Monet intended. However with bustling tourists traffic and selfie mongers it’s hard to find a quiet moment.

My favorite museum in Paris. Yes, it’s smaller but then you have just the right amount of painting to appreciate without feeling rushed. Each painting have decent space around instead of one stacked on top of another competing for attention like in big museums. If you are really into the Water Lillies by Monet, i think best to arrive near closing time just for it. During the day, it’s hard to admire the beauty of the paintings with people standing around, posing and blocking your view.

Splendid collection of Impressionist and Post Impressionist masterpieces. All the greatest artist of the period are well represented. Modigliani, Cezanne, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, Seurat, Murillo, Soutine......The Water Lilies by Monet are 2 gigantic sets of 4 pictures each in enormous oval rooms. Unique!

An essential stop for fans of Monet and his water lilies paintings. We got tickets in advance for opening time and we were able to enter quickly and, as you can see, it wasn't very crowded. By the time we left, lines and crowds were far longer. The museum has a interesting collection of post-Impressionists that is worth seeing. Note; We had planned to take a break at the cafe, but it is small, with limited seating, and no seats were available when we stopped by.

The exhibition space of Monet is very shocking and I was fascinated by it. The orange cake in the café is great. I hope it has a more canvas bag style can be choose. Students can enter for free with their student ID card.
