Le musée est situé dans une ancienne serre du jardin des Tuileries, qui abritait en hiver les orangers qui décoraient les allées du jardin. En 1922, le lieu est reconverti en centre d'art et accueille les Nymphéas de Monet. Des œuvres impressionnistes et modernes viennent, au fil du temps, enrichir ce musée unique en son genre.
