Paris is loved for the caf\u00e9 culture, shopping, its famous landmarks and but mostly for the wonderful museums.  From the Louvre to Musee del l’Armee .. there is so much to see, learn and experience…  One museum I adore is Musee de l’Orangerie, located inside the Tuileries Garden, Paris<\/a>. Its compact size is perfect for visits with kids. Every art lover has probably seen Monet’s Waterlilies but the ones at the Orangerie envelope you giving the “illusion of an endless whole, of a wave with no horizon and no shore”<\/em> in the words of Monet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Claude Monet\u2019s monumental series of water lily paintings, Les Nymph\u00e9as<\/em>, the museum also houses an important collection of primarily early 20th-century art including Picasso, Modigliani, Soutine, and Braque. Under the directorship of C\u00e9cile Debray, the Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Orangerie is also gaining prominence for its ongoing series of special exhibitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
