Fodor's Review:

People line up for hours for a glimpse of Claude Monet's huge, meditative Water Lilies(Nymphéas), displayed in galleries designed in 1914 by the master himself. The museum, once a winter greenhouse for the Tuileries' citrus trees, was renovated in 2006. The small, excellent collection includes early-20th-century paintings by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Modigliani, among others.

Cost: EUR 7.50,

A splendid little art museum specializing in late 19th and early-mid 20th century work. Worth a visit for the huge Monet water lily paintings alone. Make time to see -- it's worth it.
