Musee d'Orsay
Quote: The Louvre may be Paris' most famous museum, but the Musee d'Orsay holds many of the most famous paintings and is my favorite of the two. This museum picks up where the Louvre left off and focuses on impressionism, especially on the top floor, which... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: This lovely museum is filled with Impressionist work. Go early. Your museum pass will get you in a separate, shorter and quicker line. When you enter go straight to the top floor. Everyone else starts at the main floor so you will have these... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: Skip the Louvre. It will scare off anyone you've spent the last hour convincing to accompany you to a museum. Instead, walk over to the left bank for a railway station converted into a gorgeous museum of French art dating from 1848 to 1914. Impress... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: This is my favorite museum. It was a train station and is well lit and just the right size, and the art collection is tasteful. Get a museum pass so you don't need to stand in line.

Quote: The Musee D'Orsay is situated in an old train station that has been turned into an art museum. It is worth the trip for the building itself—it is very beautiful. When inside the main gallery, the light tricks you into thinking that you are not... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: The D'Orsay is fantastic, from the building to the collections. Housed inside an old train station, this museum is great for those who feel too overwhelmed to tackle the Louvre. There are still many amazing works in a much smaller space. The... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: A must-see. I have to admit that not being an art student, the lower floors seemed to wear me down quite a bit. We spent 2 hours knocking around those (though they WERE incredible works!) and were a little burned out by the time we got to the 5th... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review
