Paris: Musée de l'Orangerie Reserved Entrance Ticket

1. Paris: Musée de l'Orangerie Reserved Entrance Ticket

Discover the Musée de l'Orangerie in your own time with a reserved access entrance ticket. Say goodbye to long waiting lines and waiting for ticket booths to open with your pre-booked ticket. Explore the museum at your own pace without waiting for large group tours to move in sync so as to maximize your time marveling at the renowned art inside. Visit the Musée de l'Orangerie—an art gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings located in the west corner of the Tuileries Gardens next to the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Though most famous for being the permanent home for eight Water Lilies murals by Claude Monet, see the museum's other works by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, Alfred Sisley, Chaim Soutine, and Maurice Utrillo, among others. Feel a closer connection between the two parts of the collection thanks to the new layout of the Musée de l’Orangerie: Water Lilies and the École de Paris (School of Paris) in the early 20th century. Enjoy the elegant, fluid, educational, and stimulating circuit. At the entrance to the collection, see large polyptychs by Joan Mitchell (loan from the Musée national d’Art moderne) and large-scale works by the modern 'primitives' (Picasso, Douanier Rousseau, Derain, Modigliani, Matisse, etc.). The monographic galleries allow you to get a new, more up-close, and comfortable perspective of the works. Simply show your voucher directly at the dedicated entrance for visitors with pre-bought tickets. After a security check, walk straight inside.

Ticket to museum and river boat is well worth the price. Get to the museum early! We noticed it gets fuller by the hour. River experience is absolutely lovely, there is a wifi tour option where you can listen in to fun facts along the ride, from the comfort of your own phone.

Absolutely amazing place to visit, well worth booking in advance as made entry so quick and easy. We booked a joint trip with a boat trip, but one thing it never mentioned was that the boat pick up point was 2.5 k.m from L'Orangerie.

Very nice museum, one-hour boat trip which allows you to appreciate Paris on the river side Too bad the two activities are not closer (2kms minimum)

We enjoyed a private guided tour in Italian. Signora Lucia guided us very competently through the museum and we really enjoyed it.

Visit of the museum and stroll on the Seine went perfectly
