Musée d'Orsay
What to expect
The Musée d' Orsay is a true international reference in contemporary art. Every year, more than three million people come to admire thousands of paintings, sculptures, engravings and drawings from the 19th century, in the atypical setting of an old railway station converted into a museum in 1986. Under the elegant glass arches of the large gallery, you can admire the masterpieces of the greatest impressionist artists such as Degas, Monet, Renoir, Manet and Courbet.Opening hours
