If you ask a local Parisian which of Paris’s many museums is his favorite, often the answer will be an enthusiastic “Musée d’Orsay!” Once you see this incredible museum for the first time, it’s easy to understand why. Every detail of the Orsay is impressive, from the open, airy design of the railway station with its famous, giant clock to the stunning collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artwork. You will enjoy the best experience of this amazing museum starting with our Skip the Line entry to make sure you don’t waste any time. Our Musée d’Orsay Highlights tour brings all the world renowned artwork to life as our expert guide introduces you not only to the masterpieces but also to the masters who created them. Get to really know and understand the life and works of the masters and make the most of your time by being shown the true highlights of this vast collection; our guide will ensure  you come to love this museum just as much as the locals do!

Skip right past the long entrance lines and follow your expert guide into a world of color and light. Does that painting look familiar? It’s no surprise. The Orsay Museum is home to an incredibly famous and highly recognizable collection of masterpieces. In fact, the Museum is home to the largest collection of Impressionist paintings in the world! With the help of your guide, you’ll discover this unique period in the history of art, how it was harshly criticized in its time and how painters such as Monet radically changed the way we view and depict the world. Your guide, whose second home is this incredible museum, will ensure you get close enough to see the individual brushstrokes that are so characteristic of these paintings.

The Parisians have another good reason to favor the Orsay Museum. The Orsay is first and foremost a French museum, and many of its most famous works are by French and Paris-based artists, or depicting scenes throughout France. Even though Van Gogh was certainly Dutch, we’ll see his famous Starry Night over the Rhône: a representation of the French city of Arles.  The Orsay is also the proud home of Renoir’s Impressionist masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette, a depiction of a typical Sunday afternoon in the Parisian district of Montmarte. Your guide will transport you into Renoir’s 19th century Paris, where his dancing, drinking Parisians eating galettes will seem to come to life before you.

Take a hint from the locals: the Musée d’Orsay can’t be missed. There is no better way to experience Paris’s favorite museum than through the eyes of our local guide who is eager to share his enthusiasm and knowledge on our Skip the Line: Musée d’Orsay Highlights tour.
