Quote: It is located in the district synonymous with intellectual life, centering cafés and bars frequented by philosophers, writers, actors, and musicians. It is where Victor Hugo used to live, and the site of the famous Musée d’Orsay. Designed by... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: On the banks of the Seine opposite the Tuileries, the Musée d'Orsay is located in a former railway station built for the Paris Exhibition of 1900. The structure itself is a huge glass and metal construction topped by a glass dome. The focus of the... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: I have been to this museum twice. And let me tell you, each time is like the first. Every postcard, picture in a book, or art class memory you have seen or had is housed within this elegantly converted rail station. It is a beautiful building, and... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Musee D' Orsay
Quote: The building itself is a work of art. The great hall is a vast space, which fits the grandeur of the works presented there. Interesting layout, which spreads the crowds over a wide area, with smaller rooms to highlight certain artists or artistic... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Musee D'Orsay: an amazing impression

  • 5 out of 5 stars by Amelia_T from Sydney, Australia
  • February 1, 2004
Quote: This was another of my favorite things in Paris. After being overwhelmed by the Louvre, I felt at home in the Orsay. And while it's not free, it is 7 euros very well spent (only 5 on Sundays!) and much less intimidating. After visiting Monet's... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: Here, we found more impressionist art and we actually preferred this museum over the Louvre. Van Gogh, Gauguin, Monet, and Matisse were all displayed in this fantastic museum that requires a full day to explore and enjoy. Make sure you buy tickets... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Musée D’Orsay
Quote: Great museum. Converted from a train station to a museum in 1986. The museum contains sections on Art Noveau, sculpture, paintings before 1870, impressionism, Neo-Impressionism and naturalism. Wonderful to see the paintings that I had heard about... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: The most amazing were Monet's paintings -- seeing prints or photos is nothing compared to the real thing! However, try to avoid the crowds! In some rooms, the lighting could be better, but it's still definitely worth a visit if you're into the... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Musée D’Orsay
Quote: Of the museums in Paris, I’d argue this is the best one – yes, even topping the Louvre. Good enough to go back three days in a row hoping to get in. The D’Orsay is closed on Mondays, and on the Tuesday morning when we first tried to get it, it was... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review

Quote: I have been astonished to read some comments on bulletin boards that play this museum down. What on earth do some people expect? To me, it is THE place that would bring me back to Paris again--and perhaps again--although in general I far prefer... Read the full Musee d'Orsay review
