Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingFor the quietest visit, choose a weekday morning at opening, when visitor guidance generally finds Musée de l'Orangerie less busy. Musée de l'Orangerie is open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday through Sunday, closed on Tuesdays, and offers late opening until 9:00 p.m. on Fridays during exhibition periods.
EntranceUse the main entrance at Musée de l'Orangerie in the Jardin des Tuileries beside Place de la Concorde; Concorde is the nearest metro station. Online timed entry gives priority within 30 minutes of the reserved time, but it does not remove the entrance security check, and Musée de l'Orangerie warns that security checks can slow admission. Visitors with reduced mobility should use the dedicated entrance to the left of the main entrance. Do not bring luggage or bulky objects, which are not accepted inside.
PriceThe official benchmark is €10 for the "Friday night (online)" Entry ticket. No partner price is shown for the same product, so there is no like-for-like difference to assess; check the final checkout total and inclusions before paying.
DiscountsFree admission applies to visitors under 18; EU citizens aged 18–25; non-EU citizens aged 18–25 who are long-term residents of the EU for more than three months; and visitors with a disability card or priority card, with one accompanying person, subject to proof. Admission is free for everyone on the first Sunday of each month, but online time-slot booking is required except for Carte Blanche members. EU residents accompanying a visitor under 18 may qualify for the reduced “Enfant et Cie” rate for up to two adults per child.
Planning your visit
Musée de l'Orangerie, also called Orangerie Museum and Musée National de l'Orangerie, is in the Tuileries Garden beside Place de la Concorde. Its two oval rooms display Claude Monet’s Nymphéas, while the lower galleries present the Jean Walter and Paul Guillaume collection.
The collection links Impressionism with Post-Impressionism through works by Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani. A visit usually includes the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, while the Musée d'Orsay is a separate museum that can be paired through a combined Orsay-Orangerie ticket.
A timed-entry ticket is useful because online visitors receive priority within 30 minutes of their reserved time, but a skip-the-line ticket does not remove mandatory security checks. The museum is open from 9am to 6pm, closes on Tuesdays, and has late Friday openings until 9pm during exhibition periods; the last standard admission is at 5:15pm.
Concorde metro station is served by lines 1, 8 and 12, with the museum located on the Seine side of the square. Musée de l'Orangerie is wheelchair accessible through an accessible entrance to the left of the main entrance, and an elevator serves the full visitor circuit. Large backpacks, motorcycle helmets, large umbrellas and carry-on suitcases must go to the cloakroom, while a Paris Museum Pass, audio guide and free admission first Sunday each have their own access conditions.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Security screening still applies at the entrance, so a timed or priority ticket does not guarantee immediate entry during busy periods.
- Large bags and bulky items are not accepted inside Musée de l'Orangerie; the free cloakroom is intended for coats and small luggage.
- Admission is valid for one entry only, and leaving the museum is final, so plan bathroom breaks and nearby visits before entering.
- Free and reduced-admission visitors may still need a time-stamped reservation; free admission on the first Sunday of each month requires a reservation except for Carte Blanche members.
- The Friday night online ticket is tied to Friday nocturne periods during exhibition seasons; last admission is at 8:15 pm and the galleries clear at 8:45 pm.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I use a mobile ticket for Musée de l'Orangerie, and how do time slots work?
Yes, keep the e-ticket or booking confirmation ready on your phone. A time-stamped reservation is recommended, and online buyers receive priority entry within 30 minutes after the reserved time.
Can I cancel my Musée de l'Orangerie ticket or get a refund?
Do not assume that a ticket can be canceled or refunded. Cancellation and refund terms depend on the seller and product, so check the final checkout conditions before paying.
Is buying directly from the official seller safer than using a partner?
For the available "Friday night (online)" product, the seller is the Official site. Musée de l'Orangerie warns visitors about mirror sites and street vendors, so use a clearly identified authorized seller and keep the confirmation email.
What bags can I bring to Musée de l'Orangerie, and will I go through security?
All visitors should expect security checks, which can slow admission even with an online ticket. Large backpacks, motorcycle helmets, large umbrellas and carry-on suitcases up to 56 × 45 × 25 cm must be left in the free cloakroom.
What happens if I arrive late for Musée de l'Orangerie?
A timed ticket is intended for its stated entry window, and late admission is not guaranteed. If you are delayed, contact the ticket seller as soon as possible rather than assuming you can enter at any later time.
Do children, young visitors or free-admission visitors need a ticket for Musée de l'Orangerie?
Visitors under 18 and eligible visitors aged 18–25 generally need proof of eligibility, while free-admission visitors are recommended to reserve a time-stamped ticket. Admission is free for everyone on the first Sunday of each month, but online time-slot booking is mandatory except for Carte Blanche members.
What is the main queue bottleneck at Musée de l'Orangerie?
Security screening at the entrance is the main documented source of slower admission. A skip-the-line or priority claim does not remove the need to pass security, so keep bags compliant and allow time before the booked window.
