Even if you don't look at a single piece of art, the building is worth the trip. But every little room is a treasure. Some of the rooms are the art. The experience is amazing.

This is a great museum. You will find remarkable pieces of art (paintings and sculptures) from exceptional artists. The building itself is also astonishing. Really recommended.

this would be a great place to visit even if it weren't a museum because the building is so wonderful. now it has great collections and tucked into little nooks and rooms and just lovely to wander around and find great things and art in every room. Is also not a huge museum so it can be done in a... More

Just wonderful and so much to see. Amazing seeing these beautiful works of art in reality. Unfortunately had to rush in the 2 hour time frame we had because we were leaving Paris that afternoon. You probably need to allow at least 4 hours to thoroughly enjoy it, preferably more.

d'Orsay is a great art museum, not to be missed if you are in Paris. The impressionism collection is outstanding maybe the best in the world.

We were on the third week of a European trip and had seen a lot of museums and art galleries. I was prepared for just another of the "same old same old". Wow, was I wrong. Museum itself was in an old train station and almost a work of art itself. As for the art, they have a wonderful selection... More

To spend three hours in the company of Renoir, Coubert, Monet and Degas, all in a former train station out of cinema, was a wonderful treat. A must-see on your first visit to Paris. Bravo!

The building is spectacular and well worth the visit just for that, but you wouldn't want to miss the spectacular pieces of art either. Not too busy when we went and the building is huge so we could stand in front of our favourite pieces for as long as we liked. The balcony is amazing for views over Paris and... More

go early- as soon as they open to avoid the line or pre-purchase a ticket at your hotel- go to the clock on the fifth floor- visit l'origin du monde-the restaurant is stunning- enjoy
