Why visit Orsay Museum?

Abode of Impressionist Art

Musee d’Orsay is known for its extensive collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks. It houses over 3,000 art pieces, which include magnificent masterpieces like Monet’s Water Lillies, Van Gogh’s Starry Night Over the Rhone, and Edouard Manet’s Olympia.

Highlights

Impressionism Collection

Musee d’Orsay hosts the world’s largest collection of artworks from Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists. These include works of Monet, Degas, Manet, Renoir, and Cezanne. The collection showcases a gradual progression of stages of the Impressionist style through the varied genres picked by the painters, such as modern society, landscapes, and other thematic subjects. 

Van Gogh ‘Auvers-sur-Oise The Final Months’ Exhibition

In recent years, Van Gogh has captured the immense attention of people worldwide, both for his unique painting style and his struggles with mental health and emotional intensity. So, the painter’s ‘Auvers-sur-Oise The Final Months’ exhibition is worth checking out for all the Starry Night lovers! It displays his iconic pieces like “Portrait of Dr. Paul Gachet,” Wheatfield with Crows,” and “The Church at Auvers,” which were all produced during his time in Auvers-sur-Oise.

Terrasse d'Été - Summer Terrace

It’s a lesser-known gem at the Orsay Museum. When at the museum, climb up to the Terrasse d'Été - Summer Terrace to enjoy breathtaking views of the Louvre, Seine River, and Sacre Coeur. There’s also an interactive photo booth at the terrace, allowing you to take pictures that transform into artistic masterpieces!

Napoleon III Apartments

Another one of the Orsay Museum’s cannot-miss features includes the opulent recreations of the apartments. It showcases the splendor and grandeur of the Second Empire era and how Charles-Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte and his wife Eugénie de Montijo’s lifestyle truly was. The apartment is accurately constructed to reflect the decorative and artistic trends of the bygone era.

Sculpture Garden

When you are done exploring the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art in the Orsay Museum, make your way to the sculpture garden, which emanates a tranquil atmosphere. It boasts several sculptures, including fine works like the Greek Mythology Penelope’s sculpture carved by Antoine Bourdelle and François Xavier Maillol's sculptures made of bronze and terracotta.
