Both museums serve modernism—with different temperaments.
⚖️ Key Differences
| Aspect | Orsay | Orangerie |
|---|---|---|
| Scale | Grand | Intimate |
| Flow | Linear | Elliptical |
| Focus | Broad survey | Monet + selected moderns |
See Orsay for breadth, Orangerie for depth.
🧭 When to Choose Which
- Orsay → survey + architecture spectacle.
- Orangerie → immersion + intimate modern rooms.
Tip: Split your day—morning Orangerie, afternoon Orsay.
