Located on the left bank of the Seine River, is another of Paris’s popular museums – the Musee d'Orsay, or the Orsay Museum. Built as a train station in 1900, the building then became home to a collection of France’s 19th century paintings after the Louvre ran out of space, in 1986. Although the Musee d'Orsay is quite small in comparison to the Louvre, it houses the world’s largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist art pieces. Its permanent collection spans four floors and consists of photography, sculptures, furniture, and paintings. This world-renowned museum is located close to the Louvre; with the two being connected by a bridge. Those visiting the museum for the first time must make it a point to take a guided tour as this is the best way to make sure the visit is well worth it. These tours are offered to groups and individuals and are only available on certain days.
Full rate: € 11 Concessions: € 8.50 Under 18s and members: free On the first Sunday of the month, entrance is free.
