Art & Design Museum

If you love the Impressionists and the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel like you are walking in a dream, you must visit the Musée de l’Orangerie. Built in 1852 as a winter shelter for the orange trees that lined the gardens of the Tuileries Palace, after World War I it was redesigned as a space to exhibit works by living artists. At that time, Claude Monet was painting what is now the chef‑d’œuvre of the museum itself: the large Water Lilies set. Eight panels, each two meters (6.66 ft) high and spanning a total length of 91 meters (298.6 ft), were then arranged in two oval rooms that form the symbol of infinity. If this doesn’t sound like heaven to you, it’s just because you haven’t yet set foot there.
