A perfect end to the start of another year

A wonder to behold – Musee de l’Orangerie sits alone in the gardens in front of the massive Musee du Louvre. It reopened after an extensive renovation just a few years ago. Nestled in this space are Monet’s water lilies – brought back to life through a careful redesign which allows natural light to change the mood each and every visit. Below ground – the museum houses an incredible collection. I am a huge Modigliani fan. This museum is home to some of his best works. It is also open on New Year’s Day. Nothing could be better than finishing New Year's Day admiring the beautiful collection housed in this carefully designed space. Can you tell I love it?
