About Orangerie Museum
The Musée de l'Orangerie is an art museum nestled in the western corner of the Tuileries Garden, near Place de la Concorde. Originally built in 1852 as an orangery to shelter citrus trees during winter, the building was transformed into a gallery space and is now world-renowned as the permanent home of Claude Monet's monumental Water Lilies (Nymphéas) series — eight large-scale panels displayed across two oval rooms designed to immerse visitors in a 360-degree panorama of light and color.

The building was constructed in 1852 under Napoleon III as a greenhouse to shelter orange and lemon trees from the Tuileries Garden during winter. The south facade facing the Seine was made largely of glass to capture sunlight, while the north facade was solid to block cold winds — a design that later proved perfect for displaying art in natural light.
