Musee de l'Orangerie

There aren't too many places in Paris that I've visited multiple times. 
Its not that I dont want to, its more that I don't have time to or theres other places that I haven't visited yet.
One of the special places that I have visited is the Musee de l'Orangerie or the Orangery Museum as some Americans like to call it. Its situated just infront of the Tuileries garden and houses Monet's famous Waterlillies and the Guillaume collection which is stock full of impressionists and post impressionists. I like it alot, the outside of the building is still very traditional, while the inside has been completely renovated to a more modern look. 
Anyways, I guess I'm lucky that my politics of museums class made me write a research paper on a museum of my choice. I chose this one. and like most researchers--i frequented my subject on multiple days.
