Paris Orangerie Museum Guided Tour

Thanks to this visit, you will be able to discover all the main works on display at the Musée de l'Orangerie. Specifically, you will spend about 2 hours learning about a large number of impressionist and post-impressionist works, learning about their history, techniques and meaning thanks to a tour guide. To make your entry to the museum as quick as possible, a skip-the-line ticket is included, so you'll have direct access to the museum without having to wait at the ticket office. In addition, you will be able to watch the works being explained while listening to the guide without any problem, as the maximum capacity per group is 8 people, i.e. small groups.

Throughout the visit you will learn little anecdotes about the authors of the works, as well as the significance of each painting and its impact on both history and art. On the other hand, the building itself also presents a part of the history of Paris. It was built in the 19th century as part of the Tuileries Garden, but Claude Monet converted it into a museum in the 20th century. This decision was made because of the need for more art galleries in the city.

As such, the museum houses a large number of works of art dating from the 19th to 20th century, with mainly impressionist works but also from later periods. Inside is a large collection of Claude Monet's work, including his famous water lily painting, 'Nymphéas', and others such as 'The Clouds'. On the other hand, Monet is not the only Impressionist artist on display. You can find other famous names such as Renoir, Matisse, Rousseau and Cézanne. There are even some paintings by Picasso in which he depicted several nudes.
