Musee l'Orangerie, Paris

Musee l'Orangerie is located right by the river Seine,
by the lovely Tuileries Garden (Jardin des Tuileries).
This museum features Claude Monet's famous Waterlilies paintings,
specially displayed in two large oval rooms
to create the experience of being in a "water garden".
Painted by Monet towards the end of his life,
these monumental panels capture the peace and beauty
reflected by the water lily pond
he created on the grounds of his own home in Giverny.
