What travelers are saying
- Robert FraserBarcelona, Spain6 contributionsVisiting the Musée d'Orsay in Paris was an absolute delight! As an art lover, I was in awe of the museum's impressive collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces. The former railway station's architecture adds to the allure, and the famous clock face is a must-see attraction within the museum. Opting for a morning visit allowed me to explore the exhibits in relative tranquility, beating the crowds and savoring a serene museum experience. Whether you're a seasoned art enthusiast or a curious traveler, the Musée d'Orsay is a must-visit destination in Paris.Written May 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maja KLjubljana, Bohinj, Slovenia50 contributionsMust go when in Paris! But pick a guided tour! Our guide was great! It shows you the main arts. Otherwise you are lost (if you are not so much familiar in art history).Written May 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathy RDoylestown, PA8 contributionsNot to be missed! You are given an audio tour and you cannot stop the audio to examine the tapestry closer. Therefore, there is no crowding. I thought the audio did a good job of pacing and explaining the various scenes. It was amazing to think that this was crafted in the late 1000's. Photos are not allowed. It would be helpful to review your knowledge of the Battle of Hastings and how William the Conqueror came to power prior to visiting.
There is a nice gift shop.Written May 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a fantastic experience we’ve never been to anywhere else to match this place. The projections are so impressive in this special environment.Written February 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GoPlaces430717698062 contributionsExcellent museum! If you're in Paris, don't miss it. The Monet paintings are on the lower level accessed through the gift shop.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Donna LMethuen, MA165 contributionsWow.. third time in Paris but first time here. What a treat! Lovely time spent... get the audioguide! I cannot believe this is free. Beautiful art and sculptures, stunning building and courtyard.Written May 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KelseyPlymouth, UK38 contributionsWhat an incredible castle! We came twice as there was so much to see, all of which was worthwhile. The museum was breathtaking and interesting, especially surrounded by the beautiful Christmas decorations. We also enjoyed the whimsical gardens.
My only small suggestion would be to update the signs for the seasons. Google and the signage at the stable said it opened at 10 when it was in fact 12, and tee didn’t know the toilets in the gardens were shut until we got there.

I started with the exhibit at the Frigidarium or the Thermes de Cluny. The walls are behind the exhibits now, so I wasn’t able to see the ruins of the Gallo-Roman thermal baths discovered right in the heart of Paris. I have no regrets though because the exhibit“The Art of France at the time of Charles VII” was spectacular. It was fascinating to see how the paintings, objects of art, stained glass windows, tapestries have changed from static and expressionless to lively and meaningful over the course of 39 years, from 1422 to 1461.
Then I continued to the permanent collection where elaborate craftsmanship of the medieval time was presented in the best possible way. Intricate carvings of wooden, silver and ivory objects, brightly colored stained glass (you can get a close look at the examples of stained glass from the Sainte-Chapelle), opulent religious objects, original statuary from the Notre Dame Cathedral, etc. And stunning tapestries… not just The Lady and the Unicorn, which is just beyond any reasonable imagination. I don’t even know how much time I spent looking at these six stunning tapestries. Five of them depict the five senses – taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch. The sixth displays the words "À mon seul désir" (to my only/sole desire). Once in your life you have to see this treasure… really…
Practical note: the earlier you come on a free Sunday of the month the better: when I exited the museum around 2pm, the line to enter was very long.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not far from Arc de Triomphe. Interesting architectural details and a perhaps slightly oddball but interesting collection of pieces.Written February 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 2202portishead202 contributionsThis museum really helps put into context the history of Arles and what makes it a special place.
The story of the barge and its journey from the bottom of the Rhone to pride of place in the museum is breathtaking.Written October 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From outside looks very interesting almost like a kids play ground, very much worth a visit for all ages.Written December 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ann CNashville, TN3,324 contributionsThe museum in located in a 13th century Dominican sisters' convent.
The most poplar piece is the famous Issenheim Altarpiece. It did not disappoint. The museum covers near 7,000 years of history beginning in prehistoric times. For a small city, this museum was impressive.Written January 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The grounds are beautiful with the Spring flowers reaching for the Spring sun.
Even the outside lockers were artificially designed!
We enjoyed watching a class of youngsters with their teacher and some parent chaperones.
The teachers had a captive audience. I loved that youngsters were being given the opportunity to learn about art in multiple forms at such a tender age.
Rodin’s works from the very early 1900’s. The dramatic paintings and sculptures of a time gone by, though not forgotten.
Each room held enough eye appealing works to hold our interest.Written April 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
