Musée d’Orsay — Private Tour
Once a railway station, the Musée d’Orsay houses the world’s largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin: your licensed guide reveals the stories behind the paintings and the lives of the artists who changed the way we see.
The tour focuses on Impressionism, but also explores the academic art it rebelled against and the movements that followed, paving the way for the avant-garde of the 20th century. And you will love the building itself — and the view of Paris and the Seine through the great clock on the top floor.
