MUSEE D'ORSAY.
Really liked this museum. Recommend starting fr the top and going down. The best pieces were up top. It was an Impressionism filled exhibit. Really thoughtful pieces important in the context of french history and art. The cafes were cute as well. We stopped at the one on the second floor since the one on the fifth floor seemed super packed. Recommend getting museum pass for it.

Musée d'Orsay is the center of impressionism. Here, you can admire the masterpieces of great artists. The beautiful bell of the old railway station is also held in this museum. Five classical paintings are recommended here. These are Monet's "The Water-Lily Pond" and "Houses of Parliament", and Van Gogh's "The Church at Auvers", "Self-Portrait", and "Portrait of Doctor Gachet".

Orsay museum
#europetrip
The Orsay Museum is within walking distance of the Louvre Museum and just across the Royal Bridge. The station building, which was developed for the 1900 Paris World's Fair, has been renovated as an art museum, and it is characterised by a building that retains a trace of the train passing by.
The Orsay Museum has more than 4,000 works by Van Gogh, Gauguin and Renoir on display, and you can see everything in about two hours if you go around quickly.
The facility is divided into the upper floor, the middle floor, and the ground floor, and except for the upper floor, the exhibits are lined up to surround the atrium. In order to go around everything without omission, it is recommended to go around in the order of middle floor → upper floor → ground floor.

Some non-hotspot masterpieces in the Orsay.
There are too many great works in the Orsay, so here are some good things that are easily overlooked (Millet's landscape paintings, all of Courbet's works, Achille, symbolism, Moro's exhibition hall (it's best to go in when the sun is shining outside), Gauguin's exhibition hall

Paris|Paris is in Autumn time, with brilliant vibe everywhere
Paris is always the good idea and I love the autumn vibe of this city.
Tuileries Garden looks so nice with yellow leaves. Walking to the Musée d'Orsay, people can find the beautiful Seine. The trees near the Seine are becoming yellow and the weather is ok without strong sunshine and strong wind.
Come and enjoy the brilliant vibe of Paris in autumn and you will love it!

You are not just going to any museum, but the Musee d'Orsay in our beloved Paris. And it doesn't let you down. I was happy that the museum pass covered this. It was surprisingly huge. The layout and planning of the exhibitions is carefully thought out and really takes you on a journey of discovery. The building itself is of course magnificent, with fantastic views from the upper floors.
You are likely to run into artworks that you have previously only heard or read about. it boasts one of the most significant collections of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. The 3D VR experience which is one of kind, is offered here for a limited time. I think it was August of 2024. So, no matter when you come and with or without the VR thing. A visit to the orsay is going to go down as your top museum experiences ever.

Walks down the river and over the bridges and very scenic and free to do.

This is pretty in the daytime or at night. It’s situated in a lovely area with shops and restaurants.
- The Museums
I visited the Musée D’Orsay which had plenty of art and was free on the day I visited, however there are lots of museums that should be on your list to see.

Musee d'orsay better than the louvre museum?
#myhiddengems is not necessarily hidden but certainly over-looked when considering the art scene in Paris. So many people flock to the louvre museum but miss out on its far superior sister, the musee d'orsay. When they are looking at the Mona Lisa at the Louvre you could be admiring a self portrait of Vincent van Gogh or his famous "Room in Arles" at the musee d'orsay!

#familytrips2024
The family visit to the Musée d'Orsay was a mesmerizing journey through the world of Impressionism and beyond. From the moment we entered the magnificent Beaux-Arts railway station-turned-museum, we were immersed in a treasure trove of artistic masterpieces. The vast galleries showcased the works of renowned artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir, each painting and sculpture a testament to the beauty and innovation of the Impressionist movement. As we meandered through the halls, we were transported to different eras and artistic styles, from the romanticism of the Pre-Raphaelites to the avant-garde experiments of the early 20th century. The museum's rich collection and stunning architecture provided the perfect backdrop for a day of exploration and discovery, igniting our imaginations and sparking lively conversations about art and creativity.
As we fondly recall our unforgettable experience at the Musée d'Orsay, our next dream destination to explore with family is the vibrant city of Barcelona, Spain. We envision immersing ourselves in the colorful works of Antoni Gaudí, strolling along the bustling streets of the Gothic Quarter, and indulging in delicious tapas at lively outdoor markets. Barcelona's rich culture, stunning architecture, and lively atmosphere promise to offer endless opportunities for adventure and discovery, creating cherished memories for our family to treasure for years to come.

Once a train station--the Musée d'Orsay
The Musée d'Orsay is located on the left bank of the Seine, not far from the Louvre. It was transformed from a former train station, combining classical and modern elements.
The ground floor features a grand array of sculptures in the center, flanked by galleries with many famous paintings and sculptures. At the end of the ground floor, there is a huge projection with an overhead view of the entire Paris, where everyone can find many landmark buildings.
The second floor continues to house galleries and sculpture exhibitions, truly a testament to the abundance of artistic talent in France.
Continuing upstairs, the staircase is clearly a later addition, as it is made of steel structure, reminiscent of climbing the Eiffel Tower, with a clanging sound as you ascend. This floor is particularly worth the climb because it houses many classic masterpieces by the famous painter Vincent van Gogh. This gallery mainly features Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works.
Art lovers will definitely fall in love with the Musée d'Orsay.

Paris underrated Musée d’Orsay
One of the most interesting museums in Paris, the Musée d'Orsay is home to works of art from all over the world. Browse through each floor and then head up to see this giant clock that overlooks the Seine. When you're there, it's as if you're staring through a window in time, traveling back years ago when the museum was formerly a busy train station.#Paris

Musée D’Orsay, Paris France 🇫🇷
#wheretogo
In Paris, one of my favourite museums to visit is the famous Musée d’Orsay. It is spectacular and with not that many crowds. The museum used to be an old railway station, the former Gare d’Orsay. Its architecture is stunning, with incredible arches and beautiful marble works.
Highly recommend to work your way up to the top floor that has an unmatched view of the Seine at sunset!
Well worth a visit!
My rating of this attraction: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

Orsay Museum Paris: A Must Visit
Famous for its vast collection of Impressionist paintings, Musée d'Orsay holds the largest number of famous paintings in the world by the painters we love — Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Morisot, and Renoir.
I strongly recommend this visit for all people who love art and especially paintings. It is a beautiful museum you should not miss. If you like architecture, take a look at this amazing building. Of course, you will quickly get tired of this visit if you don't like art and paintings.
The museum building was originally a railway station, Gare d'Orsay, located next to the Seine river. Built on the site of the Palais d'Orsay, its central location was convenient for commuting travelers.[4] The station was constructed for the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans and finished in time for the 1900 Exposition Universelle to the design of three architects: Lucien Magne, Émile Bénard and Victor Laloux.

As the famous art capital of Paris, France, there are numerous museums that house the world's top art treasures. Needless to say, the most famous Louvre, almost every friend who first arrived in Paris will visit. In fact, the Orsay Museum on the left bank of the Seine and across the river from the Louvre is also worth a visit. The
Orsay Museum, together with the Louvre and the Pompidou Centre, is known as the three major art museums in Paris, but it is relatively smaller in the eyes of Chinese tourists. Known as the Impressionist painter's palace, this great museum is famous for its rich collections of paintings, decorative arts, design, photography, etc. It houses classic works of masters such as Van Gogh, Monet, Miller and Manet. The building of the
Orsay Museum was originally a railway station. Like the Eiffel Tower, it was built for the Paris International Exposition in 1900. Because the platform was small, it was gradually unable to meet the demand and was abandoned. It was reshaped after more than 40 years. A new museum.

The Orsay Museum itself is a railway station designed by architect Victor Laloux for the 1900 World Exposition. The museum mainly displays Western art works from 1848 to 1914, including paintings, sculptures, decorations, photographs, architectural drawings.
Go to the Louvre to see ancient art, go to Pompidou to see modern art, go to the Olympics to see modern art. On the
5 floor there are Degas dancers, as well as Monet's water lily, and the big clock that can see the Sacred Heart.
Lynn&Luca.
It is one of the most populated museums in the collection of Impressionist paintings. It is a must-see museum for Impressionist fans around the world. The world-famous Impressionist works include: Van Gogh's Self-Portrait, Van Gogh's Room in Arles, Monet's Water Lilies, The Beauty, Renoir's Country Dance, City Dance and "The Ball of the Garrett Mill" and so on. In addition, there is also the infamous "Source of the World" by Courbet. This time it really scared me, and carefully portrayed the human body, and I couldn't accept it for a while. When it is really famous, the souvenir shop of the Orsay Museum made it into a postcard for sale. I am curious as to who will buy this piece. When I saw it, I was too embarrassed to be too close to the front. The two Korean girls in front were talking on the side of the party.
