Private Orsay Musuem Tour: Masterpieces that Defined a New Era of Art

Discover one of Paris’s most inspiring museums on a private guided tour of the Musée d’Orsay, home to the world’s greatest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. From Monet and Renoir to Van Gogh and Cézanne, this visit offers a fascinating journey through the evolution of modern art.

With skip-the-line access, your guide will lead you straight to the museum’s masterpieces, sharing stories and insights that bring each painting to life.

What to Expect?

Rather than wandering through endless galleries, your expert guide will lead you directly to the must-see paintings and sculptures that changed the course of art history.

Van Gogh’s Starry Night Over the Rhône – Discover the emotion and movement behind Van Gogh’s brushstrokes.
Monet’s Water Lilies & Impression, Sunrise – Experience the light and color that sparked the Impressionist movement.
Renoir’s Bal du Moulin de la Galette – Step into the joyful, sunlit scenes of 19th-century Parisian life.
The Transition from Academic Art to Modernism – See how artists like Manet, Degas, and Cézanne broke away from tradition.

Learn how artists captured light and color in new ways, how Van Gogh’s brushstrokes transformed art forever, and how Manet and Degas broke the rules to create something revolutionary.

This tour is designed for comfort and clarity, following an efficient route that highlights the most celebrated works without the stress of navigating the museum on your own.

Whether you’re an art lover or simply curious about the movement that changed the course of art history, your private guide will adapt the visit to your interests, so you can fullt enjoy Orsay's best masterpieces without feeling rushed.
