What you can expect

This is a self-guided audio tour of the Orangerie Museum, a gallery of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings.

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.

The visitor will also discover that the Orangerie building, once a greenhouse, was part of a large palace, a twin to the Louvre, constructed by Queen Catherine de Medici in 1564.

This tour will appeal to all art lovers, particularly those interested in learning about Impressionism and its effect on the development of Modern Art.

Note! This tour is not affiliated with the Orangerie Museum but is provided by an independent creator.

Public primary and secondary school teachers in France, EU residents under 26, and under 18 get in free with a valid ID.
