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.
Step into a world of light and color if you follow your lead. This museum is home to some of the world's greatest and most recognizable works of art, including those by Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne, and Renoir.
