Musée d'Orsay (Art Museum)

Probably my favorite museum in Paris. Good size with plenty to see yet not as overwhelming as Le Louvre. The main attraction is the 5th floor pieces by the impressionist masters (Claude Monèt, Cezanne, etc) lots of beautiful paintings. In addition they have a large collection of sculptures. Nice coffee shop in the lower level and a good size restaurant in the upper floor. Plan to spend a few hours wondering around and admiring the masterpieces.

Lots of different collections of art master pieces in Musee d'Orsay! The building is well restored and decorated, it was an amazing experience to witness these artists' breathtaking masterpieces! A little crowded in all the famous pieces but others were easy enough to get close view and relaxing to walk through. Definitely worth to visit when in Paris. Booked tickets in advance is advisable.

V & I were lucky to be in Paris for three days on a stop over on our way home from our anniversary in Italy. I had not been to this museum in 25 years and it is everything I remembered and more. If you like the French Impressionistic period this is your place. All the masters including Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Manet, Seurat and the list goes on and on. And these are not the “also ran” pieces, the number of true masterpieces here is incredible in such a (relatively) small location. It’s not as grand or immense as the Louvre and not the wow factor of Monet’s largest works like in the l’Orangerie, but there are SO MANY masterpieces and with the right guide (Highly Recommended!), you will learn how the period evolved and who was involved and why they were involved and how they painted and where they painted and how it all came to be! There are few things in life as beautiful as art and to see these paintings IRL, it’s breathtaking. Don’t miss this beautiful place and its history and evolution because it more than just impressionist art. The sculptures are amazing - maybe not as mind blowing as Rome or Florence - but each as meaningful and amazing as the pieces you see elsewhere, and some you can’t see anywhere else. Don’t forget to invest in a guide. There are some great ones you can find in these reviews along with recommendations in certain very well known discussion forums that I have read (it) about. Last advice, avoid Tuesdays. The Louvre and l’Orangerie are closed in Tuesdays so this museum is poppin’ on Tuesdays. It is closed itself on Mondays like most every museum thus Wednesday and Thursday are likely the best time to visit. Enjoy!

This place is honestly incredible! Due to limited time I focused on my personal favourite - Impressionists but you could easily spend a whole day here. The building itself it stunning. Would recommend going out of peak season, I visited in August and it was very busy. I wonder how it would feel with less hustle and bustle. A memorable part of my trip to Paris! Also there is a queue for tickets to be bought on the day. It was swift (5-10mins) and easy.

This site is what you can really call a Museum. The works of art are astonishing, and you can take as many pictures as you will. You'd rather go on a weekday, because it maybe very crowded on a weekend. The building itself is beautiful and the distribution make it easy to walk it through all the exposition rooms in less than a day, specially, if you like Impressionism, that's the place to go. The best museum in Paris.
