2.5 hours
Private tour (only you and your group)
Up to 6 people

Explore with me the Orsay museum to admire one of the most important Impressionist collections in the world. Paris is famous as the place where the Impressionism was born, an artistic movement that signed the beginning of a new Era, when the science and the progress made painting the best way to analyse the reality and the light, giving to us unforgettable artworks. A tour about Modernity, in a museum that is also the architectonic symbol of a new lifestyle and a new way of thinking and work.
