The Musée d'Orsay is one of the most beautiful museums to experience in Paris: a former train station transformed into a showcase for art from 1848 to 1914, with the Impressionists, the sculptures, the large clock and a spectacular perspective on the nave.

Editorial summary from guides, visitor feedback, public forums and official information available online.
The reputation is very strong: many travelers prefer Orsay to the Louvre for a more readable visit.
The reviews praise the building, the impressionists and the more manageable size of the course.
The criticisms mainly focus on the lines and the density around the most famous works.
Built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900, the Orsay station was transformed into a museum and inaugurated in 1986. Today it brings together the arts of the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, between academicism, impressionism and modernity.
