Located in the heart of Paris, in the Jardin des Tuileries, the Musée de l'Orangerie presents two emblematic collections of the artistic creation of the early twentieth century: Les Nymphéas by Claude Monet and the Walter-Guillaume collection. Renovated in 2006, the museum offers the visitor a poetic and artistic discovery of these prestigious ensembles. The Water Lilies Both monumental and intimate, The Water Lilies are the expression and culmination of the artistic thought of Claude Monet. A crazy project of a painter who wanted to explore all the variations of light in his garden in Giverny, Les Nymphéas unfold in two oval rooms and invite the visitor to an endless contemplation. In the aftermath of the Great War, Monet wanted his work to take on this aesthetic and poetic dimension and thus offer Parisians a refuge, a place of peace and meditation. The Walter-Guillaume Collection An intellectual project by merchant Paul Guillaume and his wife Domenica, the Walter-Guillaume Collectio
