This place is honestly incredible! Due to limited time I focused on my personal favourite - Impressionists but you could easily spend a whole day here. The building itself it stunning. Would recommend going out of peak season, I visited in August and it was very busy. I wonder how it would feel with less hustle and bustle. A memorable part of my trip to Paris! Also there is a queue for tickets ...

Nice collection of art. Very affordable/fair prices compared to many other museums and galleries. The collection wasn't as large as I imagined, especially being such a large building. But it's worth a visit. There are some great photo opportunities from above, and the impressionists art is fantastic.

Do not miss this architectural and artistic gem! Do a bit of research first so you target the areas of greatest interest. Impressionists and Art Nuveau were a must for me.

(Uploaded photos are from two different trips...

Everybody knows how fantastic these places. The museum itself is just simply fantastic. Well organized and clean easy to get around. Advice: get Timed Tickets otherwise lines are really long. Audio guide well worth a little extra to learn about the paintings. Many different spots to take photos. The card can get very big around famous artists and pictures. 5 start!! Bring comfortable shoes :-)

I'm using Paris Museum Pass, just join the line via Entrance C. This is one of the coolest art museums in Paris, it’s a must-visit if you’re Van Gogh's fan or simply into art. What makes it really special is that the building itself used to be a huge train station, it was the Gare d’Orsay, built around the early 1900s. Instead of tearing it down, they turned it into a museum, which means you get ...
