Explore the Orangerie Museum: A Hidden Gem in Paris
As its name suggests, the Musee de l’Orangerie is housed in the former Orangery of the Tuileries Gardens, built in 1852. This historic building now showcases one of French impressionist painter Claude Monet’s most luminous achievements:Les Nymphéas, a series of eight murals that took four years to complete, serving as a poignant meditation on peace during the turbulent times of World War I.
