I really liked the museum, but having tickets for one hour I do not understand that there were so many queues so we entered later than the hour and we did not have time to see everything we wanted because they closed the museum1/2 earlier than advertised on the web.

The spectacular works and the illustrious presence of great names of the artists on display. Somewhat circuitous the route and linearly difficult to follow one gets lost in the endless halls that follow one another even before arriving to enjoy the immense artistic panorama reason for the visit.

The passage was ultra fast and the control staff were very professional and understanding. I had forgotten my knife in my pocket, so I told them before going through the detector and they explained to me that they were going to accompany me to the cloakroom to drop it off... and of course pick it up when I left. As for the museum, it was just a delight and always full of emotion to see the masterpieces before us. In short, a very good afternoon.

A wonderful museum. The paintings are impressive, especially the Impressionists. The old station concourse is impressive. Ordering tickets in advance on the Internet shortens the long wait.

Not having to wait in the long queue was great. The Museum has so many famous paintings. If you're a French Impressionist fan this is the place to go.

Your experience

Established in 1986, the Orsay Museum is one of the newest museums in Paris but also one of the most important. It is an institution that houses paintings from one of the most influential periods of French Art — the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist eras of the late 19th Century.

Explore the artworks at your own pace

Once inside, you are free to explore the museum as you like. The exhibitions are arranged chronologically, with early 19th-century sculptures and classical paintings on the ground floor, leading up to the Impressionist paintings on the second and top floors. Most of the highlights of the Orsay Museum are on the top floor.

Explore an extensive collection of French Realist and Symbolist art and gain insights into the cultural and artistic developments of the late 19th century. Stroll throll exhibits with displays of sculptures and decorative arts, including furniture, and other artifacts from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods.

Magnificent inside and out!

At the Orsay Museum, you will not only see famous paintings but also have the chance to catch sweeping views of Paris from its top floor. One of the Orsay Museum’s best-kept secrets is its Terrasse d’Été, Summer Terrace — perched high above the city with lovely views of the Seine River, the Louvre, and in the distance, even Sacre Coeur perched high on its hill in Montmartre.
