Meet the Impressionists on this in-depth tour of the highlights of the Musée d’Orsay with an expert guide. Stepping into the stunning interior of the museum with skip-the-line tickets, you’ll immerse yourself in a world of incredible art by Van Gogh, Monet, Gauguin, and more, as your guide explains what Impressionism was all about and how it changed the world of art as we know it.

Your tour begins in front of the museum, where you’ll meet your guide and small group of no more than 15 people. Skipping any lines, you’ll enter the jaw-dropping main hall with its towering Beaux-Arts ceiling vaults, and learn how it went from being a train station to having the preeminent collection of Impressionist paintings on earth.

This museum boasts five levels of art that includes paintings, statues, furniture and much more. It would be quite a feat to try and do on your own without feeling like you’ve missed something. Allow us to ease your stress; we’ve crafted the perfect, manageable itinerary of well-known and classic pieces, along with a few wild cards, to ensure that you get the most out of your visit.

Diving into the collection, you’ll view famous works like Van Gogh’s Self Portrait and Starry Night Over the Rhone, Manet’s Olympia and Luncheon on the Grass, Monet’s Houses of Parliament, Gauguin’s Tahitian Women on the Beach, and many more. The collection is a “Who’s Who” of the biggest names in late 19th-century European art, and this experience will be bring the art to life.

The Musée d’Orsay has so many world-class paintings and sculptures it can overwhelm even the most dedicated art fans.
