2. The museum features reconstructed rooms from the apartments of Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the 19th-century French ruling class.

3. Orsay Museum is mentioned in numerous written works, including an acclaimed literary work, “The Elegance of the Hedgehog” by Muriel Barbery.

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.

Sculptures and Decorative Arts

Complementing the large volume of its renowned paintings, Orsay Museum also features a diverse collection of sculptures and decorative arts. These collections include objects from the 19th century, from the Second Empire to the Art Nouveau period.

The Beautiful Architectural Aesthetics

Orsay Museum is built where Gare d’Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station, once stood. The slanted roof, the embellishments of a lion’s head, laurel leaves and oak branches on the façade, and the glass canopy allowing natural light to bathe the museum makes for a gorgeous setting that you must check out!

The Clock View

The large clock window on the fifth floor is one of the most striking features of the museum. You get a bird’s-eye view of the Seine River, the Louvre, Sacre Couer, and the Tuileries Garden from here. It is also a remnant of the Gare d’Orsay railway station, preserved to represent the 19th century’s architecture.

Special Installation

Musee d’Orsay is home to a highly unique installation. The 1:100 scale model provides an aerial view of the Paris Opera and its neighboring areas. Since the model is encased under the glass flooring, when visitors walk across the museum, they gain an intriguing perspective into Paris's urban and architectural development from 1855-1914.

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.

Fue una experiencia realmente hermosa y especial. Recorrer el Sena mientras admirábamos los monumentos y la arquitectura de París desde otra perspectiva hizo que todo se sintiera mágico.

Le Paradis was spectacular—highly recommended for a cabaret experience in Paris; we loved it. On the other hand, we didn't enjoy the Seine river cruise; the boat didn't have a place to serve drinks or food, so I wouldn't really recommend it.

The part of the tour along the Canal Saint-Martin was particularly impressive and beautiful, as we passed through six locks. In addition, clear explanations were provided in both French and English. My 14-year-old granddaughter also thought it was a highlight of our trip to Paris. Truly a unique experience!
