The larger-than-life Water Lilies by Monet are the main attraction, but they are far from the only reason to visit. Situated in an old greenhouse in the heart of Paris, this museum is also notable for having the Walter Guillaume collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art.
This in-app audio tour explains how Impressionism was born and how Monet's painting technique evolved over time. You will gain insights on the genesis of the Water Lily collection, Monet's creative vision, and how the Orangerie was adapted to accommodate the paintings.
The amazing Walter Guillaume collection on the Lower Level allows the visitor to understand the evolution from Impressionism to Modern Art. The influence of African Art on the early Modernists led them to create the first abstract paintings.
Note! This tour is not affiliated with the Orangerie Museum but is provided by an independent creator.
