Musee de l'Orangerie Entry Tickets Overview
Tucked within the Jardin des Tuileries on the banks of the Seine, the Musee de l'Orangerie is one of Paris's most magical and intimate art museums. Built in the 19th century as a greenhouse for the Tuileries gardens, this beautiful building was transformed into a museum after World War I at the personal request of Claude Monet, who designed two purpose-built oval rooms to house his monumental Water Lilies series.
Today those two oval rooms remain one of the most extraordinary artistic experiences in the world. Monet's eight enormous Water Lilies murals wrap around the walls in a seamless panorama of colour and light, with natural daylight flooding in from above exactly as the artist intended. Beyond the Water Lilies, the museum's Walter-Guillaume collection features exceptional works by Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso, Matisse, and Modigliani across two beautifully curated floors.
Smaller and far less crowded than the Louvre or Musee d'Orsay, the Orangerie offers a rare chance to experience world-class art at a genuinely human pace. Book your skip the line Musee de l'Orangerie Paris tickets now and enjoy one of the most contemplative and rewarding museum visits the city has to offer.
