Musée de l'Orangerie

This afternoon, we had a bit of a break, so I decided to meet up with some friends and go to the Musée de l'Orangerie, near the Louvre. The most beautiful thing about the museum is definitely the Monet Water Lilies, which were painted for the museum itself. There are two round rooms with the works, and they're absolutely gorgeous.



Here's a good view of the room itself.





Beautiful, right? The museum also has some other great artists, like Cézanne and Renoir. Here's a Cézanne still life.



And another Monet...



That's all for now! I'm going to Milan tomorrow, so I'll be sure to update when I get home. A la prochaine!
