Orsay Museum Private Tour with a Parisian Guide

Orsay Museum is the best place in Paris to understand many transformations of the 19th century that shaped French modernity. During this tour, you’ll see how architecture and fine arts transformed in only one century, giving to history of art a legacy still accurate. From the last classicals works of art of the Parisian “Salon” to the modern impressionists and those they inspired, dive into the rich history of paintings in the 19th century. Architecture is a mirror to society, thanks to the museum’s look itself and models of streets and monuments, you’ll see how Paris transformed to be the city you can nowadays witness.

In Orsay, many works of art can be changed from one day to another, to display the vast collection of the museum. Here you can have an idea of what we’ll see together: Paintings by Ingres, Delacroix, Cabanel, Barbizon school painters as Millet, the naturalism of Courbet, Manet, the collections of Impressionists (Monet, Degas, Renoir…), Cézanne, Van Gogh... We’ll also have a look at the museum’s architecture and a model of Parisian streets. Feel free to contact me if you wish to add anything to your tour and see how we can personalize it together.
