Musée d’Orsay: Entry Ticket + Guided Tour

Additional Information & Description

The Musée d’Orsay brings together an exceptional concentration of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art in Paris. This entry ticket with a guided group tour puts those paintings at the centre of your visit, with time devoted to the works and the movement behind them.

Two hours with the masterpieces

Join a group for a two-hour tour of masterpieces by Manet, Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh. The guided visit explores how Impressionism changed the art world, giving the paintings a broader context rather than presenting them simply as individual works. These artists form part of a collection that also includes significant paintings by Gauguin, Degas and Cézanne. The museum’s concentration of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works makes it a substantial setting for a tour focused on this chapter of art.

A museum inside the Gare d’Orsay

The building deserves attention in its own right. The Musée d’Orsay occupies the Gare d’Orsay, a railway station built in the Beaux-Arts style. That architectural setting is a distinctive part of the visit: the art is housed within a former station, rather than a building originally created as a museum. Alongside its collections, this setting contributes to the museum’s considerable cultural importance.
