Things to do in Paris | Île-de-France | France

The Musée d'Orsay is a museum in Paris, France, on the Left Bank of the Seine. It is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station built between 1898 and 1900. The museum holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1914, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography. It houses the largest collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces in the world, by painters including Berthe Morisot, Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Sisley, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986. It is one of the largest art museums in Europe. (Wikipedia)

Traveler Notes

From the outside, the Musée d’Orsay looks like an old railway station, simply because it was - until it was converted into a museum back in the 1970s-1980s. Home to an impressive collection of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings by artists including Degas, Van Gogh, Monet, and Renoir, the museum is quite an inspiring and exciting, if not overwhelming place to visit.

Admission. €12.40. Musée d’Orsay is NOT included in the Paris Pass.

How To Get Here. Metro Station: Solferino or Musee d’Orsay on the RER C.
