Museums in Paris: Musée de l'Orangerie #1 (Part 3 of 4)

Our tour of the Musée de l'Orangerie continues with a special exhibition--Collection Focus / Monet–Clemenceau.  The exhibition traces the friendship of the artist and Georges Clemenceau, France's Prime Minister during WWI, and includes some Monet paintings and portraits.  







While visiting l'Orangerie, we spotted a painting by Abstract Expressionist painter Joan Mitchell.  Check it out.
