Musée d'Orsay

Musée d'Orsay is an art museum in the former Orsay railway station on the left bank of the Seine in Paris, showing art from 1848 to 1914.

Why go

The Musée d'Orsay occupies the former Orsay railway station, designed by the architect Victor Laloux and built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. The station became a museum that opened to the public in 1986, and the museum says its collections cover art from the period 1848 to 1914. It stands on the banks of the Seine opposite the Tuileries Gardens, at 1 rue de la Légion d'Honneur, 75007 Paris. In March 2026 the museum announced that it would stay open throughout a building programme to improve the visitor experience; check the museum's own site for current access before you travel.
