at the Musée d'Orsay

​

This former Beaux-Arts railway 

station has been stunningly renovated to display the national collection of 19th century masterworks featuring paintings by the Impressionist. These works were once housed in the Jeu de Paume (a museum now featuring temporary exhibits of modern artists). These well loved works of art were moved to their new home which opened in 1986.

Touring the Musée d’Orsay we can find your favorite artists masterworks.  Popular artists like Manet, Renoir, Cassatt, Degas, Monet, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Berthe Morisot and many other can be shared and enjoyed.  We can learn more about this exciting era of art history and Parisian society in the rapidly changing 19th century.

Make an Impressionist Day with a visit to the d'Orsay Museum and a visit to the neighborhood of Montmartre.  A walk through this former village once outside of Paris can still offer up the charms as the habitat of the revolutionary young Impressionists.  Many of the landmarks painted by the Impressionist artists can still be seen today.  This would include the cabarets the Moulin Rouge, Au Lapin Agile and the Moulin de la Galette.
