Top things to do in Paris

Explore the Orangerie Museum: Your guide to Monet, masterpieces, and tickets

In 1852, to protect the orange trees in the Tuileries Garden from the harsh winter, Napoleon III commissioned a structure that later evolved into today’s Orangerie Museum—one of Paris' most esteemed art galleries.

The museum showcases an extraordinary collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, including Claude Monet's iconic Water Lilies series, works by Pablo Picasso, and other renowned artists.

A hidden gem for art lovers

The Orangerie might not be as famous as the Louvre or the Musée d’Orsay, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a peaceful, intimate space where you can enjoy some of the greatest masterpieces of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art without the overwhelming crowds. Home to works by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alfred Sisley, and Maurice Utrillo. 

Witness to epic transformations

The Orangerie wasn’t always an art museum. Built in 1852 as a simple shelter for the orange trees of the Tuileries Garden, it has since served as everything from a warehouse to military accommodation. In 1921, it came under the care of the Beaux-Arts administration, and with the involvement of Claude Monet, evolved into a temple of art. Today, it’s a beautifully restored museum that carries the layers of its past—making it an even more special place to visit.

The heart of the museum: The Monet series

The museum's crown jewel is, without a doubt, Claude Monet’s Water Lilies. These massive murals were designed specifically for the Orangerie, and stepping into the rooms where they’re displayed feels like entering another world. 

Monet spent over 30 years perfecting this series, capturing the tranquility and beauty of his garden at Giverny. As you stand in front of these murals, it’s easy to lose yourself in the soft colors and flowing brushstrokes. It’s an experience that’s as emotional as it is visually stunning—and one you won’t want to miss.

Sanctuary for art and artist

The Orangerie’s collection goes beyond Monet. Masterpieces like Young Girls at the Piano, The Afternoon in Naples, The Groom, and Portrait of Paul Guillaume offer a glimpse into the diverse 20th-century art scene. To gaze upon these and (hopefully) be inspired by the rich textures, bold colors, and innovative techniques that defined an era, is an artist’s dream.

Things to know before booking your Orangerie tickets

  • It's highly recommended to book your tickets online in advance. This allows you to choose a specific date and time slot, helping you skip the potentially long lines at the entrance. Since entry without a reservation isn’t always guaranteed, pre-booking helps you avoid disappointment, especially during peak tourist seasons​.

  • The Orangerie uses a timed ticketing system, meaning your ticket will be valid only for the designated 30-minute time window. Be sure to plan accordingly and arrive within that window to avoid any issues with entry​.

  • Your ticket grants general admission to the museum, including access to Claude Monet’s Water Lilies in the Nymphéas Room. You'll also have access to the museum's permanent collection and any temporary exhibitions running during your visit​.

  • The Orangerie and the Musée d'Orsay are only 10 minutes apart, making them a perfect cultural duo for one day. The Orsay provides historical context, showcasing the rise of Impressionism, while the Orangerie presents the culmination of these movements, with masterpieces like Water Lilies displayed in a peaceful, intimate setting. If you're a fan of the period, book a combo ticket that will allow you to visit both museums and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the era.

  • For those looking to save money, the Orangerie offers free admission on the first Sunday of every month. However, even on these days, you’ll still need to book your ticket online to reserve a time slot.

Portrait of Miss Chanel
