Description

Experience the artistic soul of Paris with a visit to the Orangerie Museum, nestled in the scenic Tuileries Gardens. Home to Monet’s iconic Water Lilies, the museum also showcases masterpieces by Picasso, Cézanne, Matisse, and more—offering a must-see Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection. If you select the guided tour option, your visit begins with a 30-minute outdoor walking tour around the museum, led by a knowledgeable guide. Learn about the museum’s history, the featured artists, and the rise of modern art in Paris. Please note: no guide accompanies you inside. With the reserved access option, skip the ticket lines and enjoy priority entrance to explore the museum at your own pace. Your ticket includes access to all permanent and temporary exhibitions.

Itinerary

Musee de l’Orangerie
Pass by

You are free to take your time exploring the Musée de l'Orangerie if you have a reserved access entrance ticket. Say goodbye to waiting in line for hours on end and for ticket windows to open with your reserved ticket. Instead of waiting for big group tours to move in unison, explore the museum at your own pace to make the most of your time taking in the world-class artwork within. View the additional pieces in the museum by, among others, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, Alfred Sisley, Chaim Soutine, and Maurice Utrillo. The museum is best known for housing eight of Claude Monet's Water Lilies canvases permanently. The two parts of the collection—the Water Lilies and the École de Paris (School of Paris)—feel more connected now because of the early 20th-century reorganization of the Musée de l'Orangerie. Savor the grace, flow, education, and stimulation of the circuit.

Great museum, misleading tickets

Total scam. Paid a premium for timed entry ticket and audio guide. Wanted to avoid waiting in line in the heat so thought it made sense. We rushed to make it on time only to find we did not have timed entry so waited line in the heat. Museum was great but Viator was lousy.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the tickets provided are timed-entry tickets, which allow entry during your reserved time slot. However, all visitors, regardless of ticket type, are required to pass through the museum's mandatory security screening before entering. Unfortunately, no ticket—including timed-entry tickets—can bypass this security check, as it is in place to ensure the safety of all visitors. As one of the world's most visited museums, security procedures are an essential part of the entry process and are managed solely by the museum authorities. We appreciate your comments and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the museum itself. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Nice museum, friendly staff

Great place to go on a hot day. Impressive art. The shop and cafe area was nice, but extremely crowded during the hot part of the day.

Unfair business

Viator sent me a ticket for a different person and for a different museum. Therefore I did not receive the audio tour and had to wait in the “person without timed ticket” line. I called before arriving to clear it up and they said it would be okay with just the one ticket. They refuse to give me a refund which is bad business practice.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the confusion and inconvenience experienced during your visit. We sincerely regret the issues regarding the ticket details and audio guide access. Please note that all visitors may still be required to pass through venue-controlled entry lines. We appreciate your comments and will review this matter internally to help improve our service and communication.

Exasperating to enter; time well spent once inside

Entry is a major pain. I recommend coming at least 40 minutes early. After entering there are various good paintings and a very good center exhibition on the ground floor.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience and helpful advice. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the paintings and the ground floor exhibition, and we appreciate your tip about arriving early—it can really help make the visit smoother for future guests.

Stunning Water Lillies

Smaller museum than expected. Perfect for an audio tour on your own. You have time to listen to the 1-3 minute summary for each painting. Monet’s Water Lillies murals are stunning. Something everyone should see in their lifetime.
