The Orangerie was built in 1852 as a winter shelter for the orange trees that lined the garden of the Tuileries Palace For a period of time it was also used as a storehouse for goods, a bunk for soldiers, and as a flexible exhibition space Monet's generous gift transformed it into the Musée de l'Orangerie, a pre-eminent gallery of Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings
