Our advice for the visit
- The Musée d'Orsay is a victim of its own success. There are always people at the entrance. This is not a problem once you are in the museum because it is very large. However, we strongly advise you to buy your tickets online before your visit.
- The Musée d'Orsay is a vast museum, and its visit can be tiring. We advise you to plan to do a lunch or snack break. Plan to go there at staggered times to avoid the crowds.
- The museum's website suggests an online "first visit" tour of 1h30.
