What to expect

Orsay Museum

Housed in a former railway station, the Orsay Museum is dedicated to 19th and early 20th century art, with extensive Impressionist and post-Impressionist collections.

Features

• Access the museum’s permanent collections, and, if you select the relevant option, explore temporary exhibits such as Gustave Caillebotte: Music of Colors and Renoir and Love, A Joyful Modernity (1865–1885) during your visit.

• See highlights such as Luncheon on the Grass by Manet and Starry Night Over the Rhône by Van Gogh at Orsay, and Water Lilies by Monet at the Orangerie Museum, if you choose the Orsay Museum + Orangerie Museum entry ticket option, which emphasizes these masterpieces across both museums.

• Use the app-based audio guide, available in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Chinese, if you select an audio guide option for self-guided commentary separate from the museum’s own device.

• Benefit from reserved access tickets as standard, opt for flexible entry or Thursday evening entry between 6 pm and 9 pm, or choose fast-track entry variants for quicker access to the galleries.

• If you select a virtual reality option, experience the Paris 1874 Statue of Liberty VR journey in a 50-minute session, with 35 minutes in VR available in English, Chinese, Spanish, and French, tracing the statue’s creation from Bartholdi’s first idea to its unveiling in New York.
