We were visiting Paris end off July, and it was suprer hot (take an extra bottle of water in your bag pack when heading off for any attractions, as there is not many shops around!). When we've reached museum midday, we didn't wait long in queue and museum offers pleasantly air-conditioned rooms. There is lots to see , paintings, sculptures, as well as furnitureres. There is caffee and gift shop. We have used HEADOUT to book our tickets, it was easy to book it, cheaper than other websites, we were also rewarded with 10% discount as well. So highly RECOMMENDED! were visiting Paris end off July, and it was suprer hot (take an extra bottle of water in your bag pack, when heading off for any attractions!).

Beautiful museum to go back several times but we had to wait in line for a while despite reservation. Still worth the wait

Very nice museum with truly outstanding works. Perhaps to make the view more straightforward from an artistic point of view it would be better to bring the works of the same artist together in the same room and better indicate where the works are located if for some reason they are moved see The Dancers by Degas. Thank you

I was lucky to have a reservation in advance, as it saved a lot of waiting time. Occasionally you take a little risk for the sake of success, but this booking proved reliable. The museum is also highly recommended. The layout is beautiful and there are mostly phenomenal works of art. I had a nice visit

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.
