They are among the most popular paintings in the world but for decades they were
starved of natural light and displayed in a building likened to an oversized garden shed.
Now, after six years of renovation work delayed by archaeological mishaps, Claude Monet's giant Water Lilies are finally back on display at the Orangerie museum in Paris, in a space restored to match the French impressionist's vision of how his work should be hung.
I've seen the paintings at the Marmottan but have been eager to see them in this venue.
