Museum
Located in the Tuileries gardens, since 1984 the Orangerie has housed the Jean Walter and Paul Guillaume collection, bequeathed to the state under very generous conditions. The collection includes 144 paintings (by Cézanne, Renoir, Matisse, Picasso, Derain, Soutine, Modigliani, Utrillo, Henri Rousseau, etc.) from the end of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. It assembled the eight immense Nymphea compositions which Monet donated to France in 1922 and which have been installed since 1927 in two large oval rooms specially adapted to house them, under instruction from the painter.
