Musée d’Orsay
Musée d’Orsay places nineteenth-century art inside a former station on the Seine. Its compact focus complements a Louvre visit but still deserves its own time.
Why go
Visit to compare paintings and sculpture of the nineteenth century in a building that tells another story of Paris. The converted station changes the scale and rhythm of the galleries. It gives a more focused art stop than the Louvre while offering enough depth for several hours.
What to look for
Impressionist galleries
The former railway station interior
Nineteenth-century art across several floors
Useful to know
Use the station hall to orient yourself before choosing galleries.
Check the late opening day if you want to separate this visit from daytime walking.
