This 2-hour tour of the Orsay Museum is designed to take you on a historic exploration of art of the 19th century. In order to understand the masterpieces, it is essential to understand the artists behind them and the period in which they were painted. Your guide will show you what was expected of artists in this era and how the impressionists, as well as other rebel artists, stood up to the establishment and took art into their own hands. At any level of art history knowledge, or none at all, you are certain to walk away with more appreciation for Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Van Gogh, and Gauguin than ever before.

​

Meeting Point: Please meet your guide 10 minutes before your tour start time at the Rhino statue next to the entrance to the museum.
