Join me at the Orangerie Museum in Paris for a look at Claude Monet’s world famous Water Lilies.
This beautiful and unusual museum, situated in the Tuileries Gardens right in the heart of Paris, hosts a permanent display of eight gigantic murals in two specially designed oval-shaped galleries known at ‘The Sistine Chapel of Impressionism’.
Monet had a particular vision for these eight paintings; he wanted them to be installed next to each other forming an oval shape. The idea, in his own words “ was to create the illusion of an endless whole, of water without horizon or bank”.
