Highlights generally include (if artwork is not on loan, being restored, etc.):
• Monet's Water Lilies Series — gifted to France to commemorate the end of World War I, this masterpiece is celebrated as one of the greatest achievements of Impressionism.
• The Walter-Guillaume Collection — located on the gallery's lower level, this exceptional collection showcases some of Europe's finest artworks, including
• Renoir — Delight in iconic pieces like “Young Girls at the Piano” and “Peaches.”
• Cézanne — Marvel at "The Luncheon on the Grass," vibrant still lives, and serene landscapes by the artist who profoundly influenced Picasso.
• Picasso — Admire a selection of works by the revolutionary master of Cubism, whose innovations reshaped the course of 20th-century art.
Join us for a private, 2-hour guided tour of the Orangerie Museum, home to one of the world's most extraordinary collections of 19th- and 20th-century art.
Engage closely with the works of Cézanne, Matisse, Modigliani, Renoir, Picasso, and of course Monet, exploring the artistic revolutions that shaped modern art. Admire Cézanne's vibrant studies of fruit and flowers, Matisse's striking portraits, and the evocative works of Renoir and Modigliani before arriving at the highlight of the museum — Monet's breathtaking Water Lilies. Displayed in two custom-built oval rooms, these monumental panels offer a tranquil, immersive experience, often described as "the Sistine Chapel of Impressionism." As you stand before these vast, luminous landscapes, you'll understand why they are considered the crowning achievement of Monet's career — masterpiece of light, movement, and emotion.

Babylon and our guide Zdravko saved our trip - we had especially wanted to visit L’Orangerie museum, but tickets were sold out on our last day in Paris. By booking the tour we were able to access the museum and we had an absolutely amazing guide, Zdravko, who has a Master’s degree in Fine Arts as well as an engaging, intriguing personality. As an artist himself, Zdravko had a very unique perspective and in depth knowledge of the artists and paintings at the museum. We got so much more out of our visit with Zdravko’s expert commentary. The museum itself...

Special place, especially after seeing Giverny, Monet's home and gardens. Took a small tour of four people and it was wonderful. Hint is that Uber drivers and taxi drivers aren't that familiar with this museum, and we were dropped off far from the museum itself.

We had a perfect tour of L’Orangerie with Sunday! We had visited Monet’s beautiful water lilies in the past but learned so much more about the entire history of the museum, relationships to other artists, as well as interesting insights about Monet. We asked if we could tour with Sunday again since she did such a fabulous job on this tour. Highly recommend.

Our guide, Dunja, was terrific. In addition to describing the artist’s techniques, she provided explanations of the art’s historical and cultural contexts. Her descriptions were clear and easy to understand—but not simplistic.
