Musee d'Orsay
Discover the essence of art over the last two centuries with this Private Musée d’Orsay Tour. Delve into the realms of Contemporary, Realist, Pointillist, Cubist, and Impressionist masterpieces, spanning from 1848 to the brink of World War I in 1914. The Orsay, housing one of the world's largest collections of Impressionist and post-Impressionist treasures, undergoes dynamic exhibit rotations to showcase its extensive repertoire. Originally conceived as an electric train station for the 1899 Universal Exhibition in Paris, the Musee d’Orsay's architectural journey unfolds. Transformed from its brief stint as a train station with outdated platforms due to rapid train evolution, this metal structure enveloped in limestone, mirroring the neighboring Louvre and Musee l’Orangerie, has witnessed diverse uses. From wartime mail sorting to cinematic backdrops, it wasn't until the early 1970s that Paris initiated its metamorphosis into the world-renowned museum it stands as today.
