Things to do in Musée de l'Orangerie
The Musée de l’Orangerie is an impressionist art museum found in Paris, in the Tuileries Gardens right in the heart of the city.
The name of the museum comes from the previous purpose of the building. It was in fact an old orangery, or a green house for orange trees. Common in the fashionable residences of the 17th to 19th centuries the orangery served the purpose of keeping citrus trees and other exotic plants alive in inclement weather. It was a symbol of wealth and prestige and this specific orangery where the Musée de l’Orangerie now stands belonged to the Tuileries Gardens.

Reviews Musée de l'Orangerie
“My only criticism is that the museum was very crowded so maybe controlling the numbers a little if possible would make the experience more enjoyable”
“Once we got to the museum it was excellent, but getting there was challenging. The area was blocked off due to the Olympic venue being right there. It would have been fine if there were signs, but there were absolutely no signs. Policemen didn't seem to know where the museum was. Wonderful once in.”
