Orsay Museum, private tour

If you are in love with impressionist and post-impressionist movements, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris is definitely a place that you should visit. Dozens of masterpieces such as Renoir, Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Cézanne, Degas, Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec and Gauguin are on display. Furthermore, the collection of this world-class museum is a chronological sequence of the Louvre Museum, showing the national art collection of France, produced between 1848 and 1914. Important to note as well, that Orsay Museum was conceived as an institution consecrated to study and reflections on the history of France, on all those radical changes in the society that happened in that period of history.

We will be concentrated primarily on paintings and we will cover all major art movements of the period. First, the story of the museum and of its building.
