Paris: Musee d'Orsay Small-Group Half-Private Tour

When Victor Laloux's magnificent station opened in 1900, he was informed, "My dear friend, your train station looks like a Palace of Fine Arts while our Palace of Fine Arts looks like a train station." The Musée d'Orsay occupies this lovely, bright, and airy space at the moment. You will learn how the Impressionist movement burst onto the scene and changed the face of art forever in this exhibition dedicated to the art of the second half of the 19th century, one of the most exciting and daring periods in the history of art.
