- kaori TDubai, United Arab Emirates237 contributionsThe Musée de l'Orangerie is the must-see museums to visit when stay in Paris. A small museum, no crowds. Monet's Water Lilies alone are well worth the visit.
These paintings were displayed nicely , it's definitely worth making the time to do so.Written January 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The sculptures, especially The Thinker, are stunning, and the gardens provide a perfect setting to appreciate them. It’s a well-curated space—quiet, elegant, and ideal for a solo visit. Service was professional, and the atmosphere allowed for a truly focused, enriching experience.Written January 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- wac60Portland, OR59 contributionsThis is a wonderful museum in an elegant mansion. The rooms are interesting and both the ground and upper floors have some nice paintings. The real surprise, though, was a lower level with a large collection of great Monet paintings - a gift from Monet's last surviving son.
The staff were helpful - we arrived on the wrong date with our paid tickets, and they let us in anyway. The museum had great benches for viewing the Monets. Best of all, the museum was not over-stuffed with tourists. There was room, and time, to linger and really look at the great paintings.Written October 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This place was exactly what we were looking for. Our fabulous guide Liber showed and explained the games and rides throughout the viewing area. Both children and adults had a lot of fun. At the end we got to ride and pedal on the bicycle merry-go- round that is over a hundred years old. We had a wonderful time indeed!Written November 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- rojonevSacramento, CA18 contributionsA beautiful mansion, now a museum with quite a history background. It is next to the lovely Parc Monceau and well worth your visit. The day I was there there were only 3 other people- such a nice experience after so many lovely but crowded museumsWritten May 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hendrik OLondon, UK68 contributionsWe spent three hours in the great Pop art exhibition (Tom Wesselman &…) in this incredible Frank Gehry building!

- KJH323 contributionsThis is an amazing museum - a must visit if you want to get an idea of the long history of Paris. Give yourself lots of time for your visit - we went in the afternoon and it wasn’t nearly long enough. We’ll be visiting again.Written January 8, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Spotty-LeopardSingapore, Singapore187 contributionsSome of the parfum smells so much like the branded parfum. Over here it is a fraction of the price of the branded ones.
The musee parfum entry is free and you can scan the QR code for self guided tour.Written October 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a wonderful array of exhibits which covered the history of all sorts of inventions & industrial devices- coming from the 15th century to today.
The highlights for us were the 2nd floor with the Scientific Instruments & Materials galleries - and the ground floor / church which housed transport exhibits all the way from a Model T to a F1 race car.
The museum is in a lovely old building & the church has spectacular stained glass windows.
It is a quiet museum- we went on a Wednesday morning & there wouldn’t have been more than 10 - 15 visitors, and we seemed to be the only foreign visitors.
I highly recommend this museum & thoroughly enjoyed our visitWritten August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Every culture believes in and creates beauty, and there is so much beauty to see. Around every corner was something to gawk it, be it African masks, Persian clothing, textiles from Singapore, Indian clothing. This is now one of our favorite museums in Paris.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carol SToano, VA61 contributionsPlanned to visit this museum when we did our self-guided tour of Montmarte. We were pleasantly surprised to see how comprehensive the collection was. It was wonderful to walk in the studios used by such great artists. Loved reading about the history of the area and seeing old photographs. Views were beautiful. The ticket price was pretty high for such a small museum.Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- hlaurenStoke-on-Trent, UK47 contributionsUnfortunately, this wonderfully set out museum with many seemingly interesting exhibitions and information was sort of ruined through the fact I couldn’t understand any of it. Spent the afternoon just looking at the preserved creates etc. it’s a shame as many of the screens look as if they can easily be changed and therefore a small english sub section could be added. I understand I’m in a different country and of course french should come first, but I also know it’s sort of expected of large tourist institutions to cater to the English language since it’s so widely spoken and understood. Also bear in mind my friend, a fluent French speaker and full time resident fully expected their to be English available too! Also a note to bring your own food/snacks, this is the most expensive food I’ve seen in Paris yet!Written June 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
