One of Paris' not so hidden gems, often overshadowed by the nearby Louvre and d'Orsay, is the Musee de L'Orangerie. The permanent collection with large oval rooms designed by Monet to surround the viewer with his curved waterlilies paintings and the lower floor with works donated by the collector and Gallerist Paul Guillaume is unique. The cover photo is a closeup of a waterlilies work in the Portland Art Museum. #museedelorangerie #monetwaterlilies
