オランジュリー美術館

Really enjoyed visiting the Orangerie. It’s smaller than some of the other museums in Paris, which actually made the visit feel much more relaxed. The Water Lilies were beautiful in person.

We stopped at the Orangerie after walking around the Tuileries Gardens. It was a nice break from the busy streets. The oval rooms with Monet’s Water Lilies were definitely the highlight for me. We spent around an hour and a half inside and really enjoyed it.

They sent me a “voucher”not a ticket. I could not get into the museum. Now I have to deal with getting a refund.

Great museum with the magnificent water lily paintings by Monet and also other expressionists.

The ticket is invalid. They even haven’t made the refunds.

The Water Lilies rooms were even more impressive than I expected. Sitting there for a few minutes and taking in the paintings was probably my favourite museum moment in Paris. The museum isn’t huge either, so it was easy to enjoy without feeling exhausted afterwards.

We came mainly to see Monet but ended up enjoying the rest of the collection as well. I actually liked that the Orangerie is smaller than many of the big Paris museums. It felt manageable and we could take our time instead of rushing from room to room.

Really enjoyed our visit here. Seeing the Water Lilies in those large oval rooms is completely different from seeing them in books or online. The atmosphere was lovely, and there was more to explore downstairs than we expected. One of the museums I’d happily visit again.

Always exciting to see Monet again and for me the highlight is the Modiglianis. Signage is so wonderful.

The museum is really very interesting. One downside: the behavior of the visitors, particularly at the Water Lilies. An unbearable and uninterrupted din despite the guards calling for order. The frescoes were barely visible; visitors literally press themselves against the paintings and take photos of themselves non-stop. I was asked to move aside so they could pose for photos. It is a lawless zone. Where is the art in all this chaos? It looks more like a photo studio than an art museum. It is scandalous, the way they appropriate the paintings to the detriment of the art lover or the respectful visitor. The artists must be turning in their graves. Very bad experience.. Do something!
