Musée d'Orsay

The Age of the Impressionists

2.0-hour tour.

Tours at the Musée d'Orsay: Van Gogh

This tour explores each of the major modern art movements from the period of the Musée d'Orsay's collections (1848-1914). We begin with Corot, the Barbizon School, early Manet and Degas on the first floor, in order to understand how these innovations paved the way for the Impressionists on the upper levels. The Orsay's famed collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist painting will be the primary focus of our visit. We look closely at works by Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Gauguin, van Gogh, and Toulouse-Lautrec, with an eye for how each artist and generation influenced and challenged the next. The tour is designed to give you both a solid overview and an opportunity to know key masterpieces in the collection quite well.

Rates. €105 for individuals, or €90 per person for parties of two or more. Includes price of admission. €20 surcharge to guarantee that your party has a one-on-one seminar with the instructor, without other parties. 4 person maximum.

"We wanted to drop you a note of thanks. We took the Paris Muse Clues tour of the Louvre with Marya and it was great. After a long day of sightseeing in Paris, Marya kept our 7 year old son not only interested, but also engaged for 2+ hours. He was answering and asking questions, and he continues to show an appreciation for art. Today, he was telling his grandmother about "perspective" (which he learned about from Marya!)"
