Paris’s other museum, the Musée d’Orsay is an architectural marvel as well as a collection of the world’s most famous painters. Join our guides on an entirely private museum tour and consider our Thursday evening option to avoid crowds. Our charming guides will lead you through this repurposed, century-old train station and explore artistic evolutions that led to the Impressionists and their vibrant, colorful works.
From Manet’s scandalous “Luncheon on the Grass” to Renoir’s “Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette,” our engaging guides will discuss the Impressionists and their techniques. We’ll discuss those who came right before them like Millet and “The Gleaners” as well as their legacy carried on by the likes of Van Gogh, as visible in his “Bedroom in Arles.” And of course we’ll check out works by Monet himself, including his famous poppies. Think windmills, lily pads, and ballerinas.
