Major 19th- & 20th-century European art collections housed in a monumental, former railway station.

Beautiful museum with many works by some of the most famous painters in history including Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Cezanne. Incredible sculptures as well. The only downside I would say is that it is hard to get around all of the tour groups here to look at the art so be prepared to wait on these groups for awhile, especially at the most famous paintings or you may have to bypass them entirely if you don't have unlimited time.

The Musée d'Orsay was easily my favorite museum in Paris. Housed within a stunning former Beaux-Arts railway station, the building itself is a masterpiece, perfectly setting the stage for the art it contains. The central clock and open architecture create an atmosphere that is both grand and comfortable. What truly elevated the experience for me was the art, particularly the Impressionism collection. Being surrounded by masterpieces from Monet, Degas, Renoir, and Van Gogh was breathtaking. I loved the Impressionism art the best; seeing the vibrant colors and revolutionary brushwork up close truly made the artists' works come alive. For anyone who loves 19th and early 20th-century art, this museum is an absolute must-visit and a genuine highlight of the Parisian cultural scene.

We visited the Musée d’Orsay in May and had an incredible experience! The museum is beautifully organized and filled with masterpieces — especially the Van Gogh and Impressionist collections, which were the highlights of our visit. We bought our tickets online in advance from the official website for €16 per adult, and it was definitely worth it to skip the long lines at the entrance. The museum also accepts the Paris Museum Pass, which is convenient if you plan to visit other museums. Inside, the atmosphere is calm and inspiring. Photography without flash is allowed, and the lighting makes the paintings even more impressive. The Café Campana on the top floor has delicious food , but costly — prices are a bit high, but the quality and location make it worthwhile. The building itself, a former train station, is stunning — the grand clock and glass ceiling add to the experience. Staff were friendly, and everything was well signposted in French and English. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Paris — a perfect place to spend a few hours surrounded by art, history, and beauty. 🎨🇫🇷
