Orangerie Museum Fast-Track Tickets

Getting started

Begin your visit at the Orangerie Museum, nestled within the picturesque Tuileries Garden in central Paris. After a brief security check at the entrance, step into the museum dedicated to some of France’s most beloved artistic treasures.

What to expect

Enjoy a self-paced exploration of Claude Monet’s monumental Water Lilies and other Impressionist paintings. Designed to be viewed in natural light, these works offer a meditative experience few museums can match.

Features

• Monet’s immersive vision: Head to Level 0 to experience the eight Water Lilies murals installed in oval rooms. Conceived by Monet in 1909, the Nymphéas Room is known as a “room for peaceful meditation amidst a flowering aquarium,” reminiscent of the artist’s vision of nature and reflection.

• Masterpieces beyond Monet: Continue your journey through the museum’s permanent collection, featuring works by leading artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries:

  • Gabrielle and Jean by Pierre-Auguste Renoir – a tender portrait capturing the warmth of domestic life.

  • The Young Apprentice by Amedeo Modigliani – a striking portrait with the artist’s signature melancholy and style.

  • Pommes et Biscuits by Paul Cézanne – a masterful still life that redefined modern composition.

• Rotating exhibitions: The Orangerie also hosts temporary exhibitions showcasing modern and contemporary works in dialogue with its permanent collection, offering fresh perspectives on classic and contemporary art.

• A peaceful cultural retreat: Set apart from the city’s usual hustle, the Orangerie Museum offers a relaxed atmosphere perfect for unwinding and reflecting. After your visit, enjoy a leisurely walk through the Tuileries Garden or stop for a break at the museum’s café.
