Musée de l'Orangerie, National art museum in Tuileries Garden, Paris, France.
The Musée de l'Orangerie displays permanent collections across two floors, featuring extensive exhibits of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings in naturally lit galleries.
Originally constructed as a greenhouse for orange trees in 1852, the building transformed into an art museum that officially opened to the public in 1927.
The museum houses eight monumental Water Lilies panels by Claude Monet, installed according to his precise specifications in two oval-shaped rooms.
Located near Place de la Concorde, the museum welcomes visitors every day except Tuesday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with free admission on the first Sunday of each month.
