Skip the Line Tickets to Orsay Museum & Paris City Tour

ArrayWhat to Expect
The Musée d’Orsay was set up in an abandoned railway station that was initially fated to be demolished. The suggestion to turn the station into a museum came from the Directorate of the Museum of France. The idea was to build a museum that would bridge the gap between the Louvre and the National Museum of Modern Art. This was accomplished gradually, and the museum was opened to the public in December 1986. Today, 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 Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.
Head to the left bank of the Seine after collecting your tickets from the agency, and take your time in exploring this vast museum and its many stunning exhibits. You can see world-renowned paintings and artworks, such as Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass, Van Gogh’s Starry Night Over the Rhone, and Cezanne’s Card Players on display here, among other decorative arts that have been exhibited here, in the 2000 sq-meter museum.
