Musée de l'Orangerie

In the Tuileries garden there is a small museum called the Musée de l'Orangerie. The art works range from impressionist and post impressionist to modernist.

Me and the water lillies!

One of it's highlights is a collection of  Monet's water lilies. They are in an oval room, so when you wander around you are surrounded by colour.

Downstairs there are art works from Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso, Modigliani and many other important painters. The paintings range from impressionist to cubist. They capture a world that was rapidly changing through technological innovation, the world wars and social change.
