First visit back to Paris - and MdO - since Covid. Worth planning two days - but never do. One side or the other downstairs. Quick pre-lunch walk through the Impressionists on the top floor before the iconic restaurant. And then re-explore the Impressionists - Monet, Pissarro, Cezanne etc and then the Post Impressionists - Van Gogh, Gaugin. Was all set to leave at 3.30pm and sprint round the Orangerie but was way-payed by the Gaudi exhibition. Outstanding.

Everything was in order. Received ticket with easy access. No waiting in line. People outside the museum directed us promptly. Only issue was crowds once in the museum, especially in the Impressionist floor. We went at 11 o’clock. We were only in Paris for the day so didn’t have a lot of flexibility of time. Would recommend investigating peak times and avoid them.

The Musee d’Orsay is a spectacular immersion into the large water Lilly murals of Monet as well as the seminal works of Renoir, Modigliani, Picasso, Cezanne, and other great artists. We thoroughly enjoyed the process of easily reserving a time and purchasing tickets on line, as well as the admission procedures at the museum!

Quick and easy access when you buy your tickets in advance. There’s so many sculptures and paintings you need to research and pick the ones you want to see before you go. One day is not enough for even just half of the collection you can see inside. So amazing we didn’t care at all that we stayed till closing time!

We arrived hungry and thirsty but it took ages to locate a cafe, restaurant didn’t seem to be functioning but there was no notice about it. Once we found the cafe, it was excellent. Good service, good refreshments. The museum is spectacular, a wonderful setting for excellent works of art.

Great experience definitely suggest getting the skip the line tickets. It’s a beautiful museum but they don’t have all the Van Gogh’s right now, some are on loan. The only issue is getting a “flow” as you go through, it’s not exceptionally organized. May be better with an audio guide.

I booked this activity because I wanted my daughter to have a cup of tea with me in the most luxuriously decorated ceiling in a restaurant in the world, (that I know of)! We relaxed and discussed which exhibitions we wanted to see, made a plan and then executed it! Awesome!

Starting and tickets is much easy than standing in lines at museum. The museum does have entrances well signed w/reps near by for assistance. Inside is the same. The outlay of museum is well organized and there are staff all around to assist and answere any questions.

Skip the line is the way to go to access miser d’orsay. However it was still a little crowded inside. I nonetheless, it made entering with reluctant teenagers much easier. We went straight to the impressionists, and loved being in the gorgeous space. Stayed 1.5 hours.

We were provided with a bar code for easy entry. Unlike our other bookings where we were just issued a QR code which did not grant us access. Electronic bookings should have electronic tickets; NOT tickets you have to print. Very difficult when you are on vacation.
Likely to sell out. Book in advance!
