Set inside a former 1852 citrus greenhouse at the edge of the Tuileries Garden, this intimate museum is celebrated worldwide for Claude Monet's monumental Water Lilies cycle. Eight expansive panoramic canvases rest in two custom-designed oval galleries flooded with diffuse natural skylight, precisely as envisioned by the Impressionist master. Below, the Walter-Guillaume collection features masterworks by Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, and Renoir.

Highlights

  • Monet's eight monumental Water Lilies murals in custom oval galleries
  • Diffuse natural skylight designed to the artist's exact specifications
  • Premier post-Impressionist collection with Cézanne, Picasso, and Modigliani
