Audio tour · Musée du Luxembourg

2:20

You're standing at the Musée du Luxembourg, on rue de Vaugirard, right beside the Luxembourg Palace and on the northern edge of its famous gardens. The building in front of you looks modest next to that grand palace. There's a reason for that: it's the palace's former orangery. The museum moved in here in 1884.
