Orsay Museum: Of Parisian art, aesthetics and architecture

From the Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses to today’s Instagram ‘glow-up’ trend, one truth remains: change is the only constant. Orsay Museum embodies this idea, having transformed from a grand Beaux-Arts railway station into one of the most renowned art museums in the world.

Situated on the left bank of the Seine, the museum boasts the world's largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces and ranks among the top 15 most-visited art museums globally.

Ready to explore this iconic museum? Discover everything you need to know about the Orsay Museum, including ticket options and tips for choosing the right experience for your visit.

Things to know before booking your Orsay Museum tickets

  • The lines at Orsay can be long, sometimes leaving visitors waiting for over an hour due to its popularity. Book fast-track tickets to bypass the queues with timed entry into the museum. This allows you to enter during a specific slot and spend as much time as you like inside. 
  • Your tickets grant access to all permanent and temporary exhibits. Starting in October 2024 and ending on January 19, 2025, the Caillebotte: Painting Men exhibition will showcase works by Gustave Caillebotte. Due to high demand, only visitors with time-stamped tickets or a Carte Blanche membership are guaranteed entry. Without one, you may face wait times of 1.5 hours or more, with no guarantee of entry.
  • If you’re looking to enhance your visit, guided tours offer a deep dive into the museum’s history and its masterpieces. While standard tours accommodate up to 20 people, upgrading to a premium tour limits the group size to just 6 people for a more intimate experience.
  • If you prefer to explore at your own pace, audio guides are available in multiple languages, providing insightful commentary as you walk through the museum.
  • You can enter the Orsay Museum for free on the first Sunday of every month, though these days tend to draw larger crowds.

Impressionist treasures at Orsay Museum

Tourists exploring Orsay Museum in Paris

The building

The story of the Orsay Museum begins not with art, but with trains! Between 1898 and 1900, the Gare d'Orsay building served as a Beaux-Arts train station. Though considered to be an "anachronism" at the time, the station – designed by Lucien Magne, Émile Bénard, and Victor Laloux –  became a beloved landmark. After World War II, the station fell into decline, but thanks to public outcry, it was saved and transformed into the Musée d'Orsay in 1986.

Today, the grand hall where travelers once hurried to catch trains is a vast, skylit space filled with art.

View from inside the Orsay Museum, Paris, featuring the iconic giant clock

The Orsay clocks

Known as the “Big Ben of Paris”, the Orsay clocks have marked the time since the 1900s. Two large clocks, with steel and glass frames, were installed in the towers overlooking the Seine, guiding passengers to their trains. Even after the station’s transformation into a museum, these clocks remained.

One clock, now part of Café Campana, offers a stunning view over the Seine River, while a grand Belle Époque clock graces the Great Hall.

The collection

Although the Orsay station couldn’t accommodate longer, modern trains, its transformation allowed it to house an impressive collection of 6,000 works of French art, including 3,000 Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces.
Explore iconic works like Monet’s Poppies, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and Rodin’s The Age of Bronze. Other notable pieces include Cézanne’s Apples and Oranges, Van Gogh’s Bedroom in Arles, and Monet’s Water Lilies.
