Founded in 1750 and housed in a wing of the Palais du Luxembourg, the Musée du Luxembourg was once the first public painting gallery open to the French public before becoming one of the first museums of contemporary art. No longer dedicated to only contemporary works, the museum now occupies the former orangery, a standalone building in the Jardin du Luxembourg, and showcases several temporary exhibitions each year.
