We bought tickets for Musee D’Orsay this weekend through Come to Paris because on the official site they didn’t had any tickets for Sunday when we were supposed to go.
The tickets didn’t had any hour, and we bought then at the same price with the ones having a specific time on the official site.
Even if we were a bit sceptical, when we got there there was an infinite queue. We showed the tickets, and there were two other skip the line rows.
We got were directed to the row that had the higher priority from the 2 priority lanes and basically we went straight to the front door without waiting in line for 1 person.
They validated the tickets and everything was all good.
closed on Mondays
but been there before
Very convenient. Save time at the museum
Also very flexible you can go any time in 5 month..
Making a reservation for the D'Orsay was easy and transparent, and the e-reservation came through immediately. Thus I was able to print it before I left home.
However, the Louvre e-reservation took about 24 hours to be delivered, which meant that I was already in Paris by that point and unable to print it out. I had my iPad, so I could show the reservation on the screen, but for someone without a smart device it may have been a problem.
Moreover, it wasn't clear why the reservation was initially flagged as "in preparation" - only when I had the small print elsewhere in the Louvre booking pages did I discover that e-tickets can take up to 48 hours to be processed and delivered. It would be helpful to make this more transparent, I think.
On the whole, the site is very convenient and useful, and I would recommend it. I shall certainly use it again - but 48 hours before I leave home!
The Musee D'Orsay was simply stunning. Would visit again.
The Bateau Mouches were not running and we should have been told when wee booked the tickets that the flood problems still existed. Unfortunately not.
Editorial Review
The Musée d'Orsay, a true temple of Impressionism and 19th-century art, is a must-visit institution for anyone interested in art history. Housed in the former Orsay railway station, this museum offers a unique experience where the building's architecture itself is a work of art that perfectly complements the treasures within.
Inside, the collection dazzles, showcasing iconic artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, and Renoir. Each painting tells a story, evokes an emotion, capturing the magic of a moment through the brush of a master. It's not just about admiring the works; it's about immersing oneself in the creativity and artistic fervor of a period that revolutionized our perception of art.
Wandering through the museum's galleries is an invitation to linger and marvel at vivid colors and unforgettable forms. The Impressionists, often positioned between the old and the modern, are masterfully highlighted, allowing visitors to grasp the evolution of ideas and styles over time. The array of artistic movements, from Romanticism to Post-Impressionism, presents a fascinating portrait of shifting mindsets.
However, the Musée d'Orsay is not limited to its astonishing collection. Its temporary exhibitions, often bold and innovative, reveal forgotten or lesser-known works, reinforcing its role as a cultural beacon. It is a vibrant space where art intertwines with culture, attracting diverse and passionate crowds.
In summary, the Musée d'Orsay is a journey through time, a place where art engages in dialogue with the visitor, making each visit an unforgettable and enriching experience. To miss it is to overlook an essential part of our artistic heritage.
