The Musée d'Orsay contains the world's biggest collection of Impressionist art. Nearly one out of three Impressionist paintings exhibited in museums all over the world are in this building, a beautiful former railway station built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900, transformed in museum in 1986. You will discover a round-up of 19th century art: paintings, sculptures, architecture, furniture, photos and movies. This is also the museum of industrial revolution in 19th century.

At the second floor of the museum

In our experience you will learn about the surprising history of this building, that was previously used as film set for famous movies, as a garage by Nazi Germans and that was finally transformed in Paris' first museum for the art of 19th century: sculpture, architecture, paintings, photographs and furniture.

We will visit and comment the most important pieces of art in the museum from the model of the Statue of Liberty, the most famous sculptures by Auguste Rodin, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Aristide Maillol and many others and of course the paintings created by the impressionist artists Manet, Monet, Degas, Rodin, Latour, Cezanne, Sisley and of course the post-impressionists Van Gogh, Gaugin and Toulouse-Lautrec.

Our tour ends with the famous arts and crafts, also called Art Floral, a completely new style of furnitures that unifies art and handicraft through great artists like Koloman Moser, Franck lloyd Wright, Antoni Gaudì and Victor Horta.

“ Louvre with Christian ”

We had a great time with Christian who managed to show us the Louvre and its highlights in a very limited time. He gave us a perfect overview of the museum and showed us all the highlights. He had very interesting stories to tell and we enjoyed the time with him. He was very flexible and responded to our requests. Thank you Christian for some wonderfull insights!
