Why visit Orsay Museum?
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.
