Orangerie is currently closed. We are also disappointed, but now have
a good reason to go back to Paris when it opens!
Leaving for P. in 7 days.....

How very odd! I was planning to visit the Musee d'Orangerie in mid May with
our friends Don and Debbie. But I think this's a different Don & Debbie.
Have a good trip!

Is it completely closed? I recall reading somewhere that you could still
visit the bottom floor, with its Monets, which is the real star of
l'Orangerie.

A small but reasonably good collection of impressionist paintings, but
the real attraction is a series of paintings by Monet, done at his
garden at Giverny. Monet and the government worked together to design
the bottom floor of l'Orangerie to display the paintings. All of them
are huge (Monet had to construct some special apparatus to paint them in
his studio), and were done late in his life, when he had moved his
vision of impressionism to one of near-abstract art. His paintings in
the l'Orangerie are spectacular; it's great fun to watch people walk
into the room and stop at the effect of these paintings.

Another jewel of a museum, if you like Monet, is the Musee Marmottan.

I was by there last week but did not commit all of the details to memory...
The collection has been on tour since late autumn but the Monet's were
available for a few extra months, closing at year end as I recall. Anyway,
it is completely closed now and will stay closed at least through year end.
