What To Expect
Musee d'Orsay
Our Musée d’Orsay Masterpieces guided tour brings all the world renowned artwork to life as our expert guide introduces you not only to the masterpieces but also to the masters who created them. Get to really know and understand the life and works of the masters and make the most of your time by being shown the true highlights of this vast collection. Learn about the Impressionist period through the world's largest collection of Impressionist paintings. Get up close and see the individual brushstrokes on some of the most famous paintings, a painting technique that was fervently criticized at the time. See works by many French painters such as Renoir, Degas and Monet. Although Van Gogh was Dutch, his famous Starry Night is a representation of the French city of Arles, overlooking the Rhône. View Renoir’s Impressionist masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette, a depiction of a typical Sunday afternoon in the Parisian district of Montmartre.

3.00The main issue was that the guide only was willing to speak in a very hushed voice. One person expressed a hearing deficit which didn’t help. The guide was deeply concerned with historical context rather than the overall experience.
