This small museum is a surprising treat just adjacent to the Louvre. While most of the great impressionist paintings are at the Orsay and many other Monet pictures are at the Marmottan, the Orangerie houses two large rooms with Monet’s amazing water lily paintings. There are additional impressionist works on a lower floor. The museum is not large but the water lilies set in two large oval rooms are remarkable.
