Orangerie

Never been to an art museum where the entire main floor (of only 2 floors) is entirely devoted to one artist and eight paintings of water lilies and willow trees in his backyard at different times of the day at Giverny.
Claude Monet did take some 11 years to complete these masterpieces which if lined up end to end would be nearly 300 ft. The basement is not so shabby with a top notch collection of Picasso, Renoir, Cezanne, Matisse and Modigliani. Compact but powerful art gallery!
