Musée d'Orsay

I think this museum is absolutely beautiful. I visited on a Thursday evening and didn’t have much time, but I still had a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely come back one day to explore it properly. I mainly wanted to visit the fifth floor, which I did, and the paintings there are simply spectacular. And of course, the famous clock is absolutely stunning. The view through it over Paris is just beautiful. I can highly recommend visiting this museum. Even a short visit was absolutely worth it.

This is simply the best art Museum in Paris. The selection of exhibits is breathtaking! The layout and structure of the museum offers a calm atmosphere for everyone to explore and enjoy. So much to see from sculptures to furniture and above all masterpieces of the art world. If you have experienced the madness of the Louvre before visiting I suggest walking around the ground floor to settle into the flow of the museum before heading to the top and working your way down. Don’t miss the arches where there are some fascinating pieces. There are so many sections to this museum all beautifully laid out. The top floor cafe is really quite good but the service team behind front of house are a little slow and unconnected which is unusual given how good every else is. Do use the cloakroom facilities carrying a rucksack around will detract from the experience. It’s free. Allow 4.30-5hrs if you want to see it all and believe me you will not want to leave. The building is fabulous. Do not leave Paris before visiting this museum.

The Musée d’Orsay is one of the most beautiful museums in Paris, especially famous for its incredible collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Housed in a former railway station, the building itself is stunning, with its huge glass clock and open, elegant interior. Inside, you’ll find masterpieces by artists like Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Édouard Manet. The museum feels bright and spacious, and it’s easy to spend hours just walking through the different galleries. The upper floors also offer great views through the giant clock windows, which is one of the most iconic photo spots in Paris. An unforgettable cultural experience.

Really great museum. Although the stunning impressionist painting takes away all the attention and other exhibits are neglected. They should just make this one for impressionism only. Very crowded. Particularly the Vincent Van Gogh gallery. Most people just snap a photo and move on. Then why come all the way to the museum. Books shops are well stocked. The cafe is very crowded. They should provide more seating space in the galleries, it's very tiring, particularly for an old person like me. Go early. There is way too much to see. The museum is very nice, nice decor, convenient location. A must visit in Paris.

Visited Musée d’Orsay during the evening opening at around 6:30 PM. The museum offers extended opening hours on Thursdays, which is a great option for visitors who prefer a less crowded experience. The crowd was very manageable, allowing us to enjoy the exhibits comfortably. It is a large museum with an impressive collection of artworks. We headed to Level 5 to see the famous works of Vincent van Gogh and other renowned artists, which was definitely one of the highlights of our visit. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. The museum is well worth visiting, especially during the Thursday evening opening when the atmosphere is more relaxed.
