11/11/23 Had a wonderful visit. While not the largest museums, we definitely enjoyed the exhibits which include Monet, Utrillo, Modigliani, Renoir and other items of collector Paul Guillaume. We did not have tickets and had to wait. However it was a cool dry day and the wait wasn’t more than about 15 min on a Saturday morning around 10:30am. People in front of us may have been there quite awhile longer as a few of them left and it was just minutes later that several of us in line were allowed in to by tickets, which were only 11 Euro each. Many museums including this one do require security screening but this only took a couple of minutes.

The museum is in beautiful surroundings. The main attraction is the Water lilies which are nicely displayed. The Modigliani exhibition is worth, too. Please do book a time slot online to avoid standing in a long queue. Worth booking well in advance as slots sell out.

The Water Lillies is what you're here for and the 4 big ones here do not disappoint. They are staged in large viewing rooms that should allow you to see everything. This is a popular sight so we came at opening with our Paris Pass in hand as well as a reservation to avoid hassle. I would recommend taking the time to get a reservation on their website if you can, the non-reservation line is long and it could take some time to get in unless you arrive early.

We loved the Monet Water Lilies, of course, but the hit for us was seeing so many beautiful paintings by Utrillo and Modigliani (the special exhibition when we were there). The rooms are perfectly designed with the paintings of usually and sometimes two master impressionists. So you can enjoy the work in comparison with other pieces by the artist. Superb collection, excellent curated. And the interior design of the museum is world-class: so easy to find your way through the rooms. Perfect museum experience.

Musée de l'Orangerie Paris is a must-see for art lovers, as it houses some of Monet's most famous masterpieces, such as his Water Lilies series. The museum is a popular destination for tourists and art aficionados alike, offering an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

This museum is perfectly designed for Monet’s masterpieces. These are truly astounding works of art, and the museum provides ample space in which to study them. It is pretty busy and too many people are trying to take selfies to the detriment of those who actually want to study the art, but this doesn’t take away from the magic of seeing Monet’s talent up close

Interesting museum designed for Monet’s Water Lillies masterpieces. The perfect setting for artwork of this scale. Go early to be able to study the art before the room is crowded with tourists taking selfies in front of the paintings, blocking your views. Beautiful lighting and perfect setting in the Tuileries Gardens. Near Plaza de Concorde (Obelisk) and nice view of the Eiffel Tower from the cue.

Monets are SUPERB. Cezannes and Renoirs excellent. Not sure of the value of the special exhibition of Modigliani however, as he didn't seem to be able to paint. Very well set out. Easily able to get close to the paintings and also good perspective from a distance. Queue management was poor: had to queue for an hour in near zero temperatures but it was worth it

We made a very brief visit here, spent just one hour taking in the huge water lilies by Monet. No doubt, they are impressive. But we did not feel that we were rushed here spending just one hour - it felt like the right amount of time. Admittedly, we must have been maxed out on museums, having visited Louvre and Orsay previously ( yes, we actually did that !)

Mnet will always be one of the greatest artists of all time and his Water Lilies are his ultimate creation. The museum does them a great service by asking visitors to respect silence and meditative experience. It was sublime.
