The Musee d'Orsay, First a train station, now an incredible Museum

by ifif1938 ifif1938 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Hotels & Travel, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Sep 03 '00
Pros: all of it
Cons: can get very crowded in the impressionist gallery
I never miss a visit to the Musee d' Orsay when in Paris.

From the first step you take inside, it's hard to believe this was once a train station, transformed from the neoclassical, Gare d'Orsay, into one of the greatest museums in the world....

Orsay? Must see!

by weetoon , Dec 05 '06
Pros: Hundreds of famous works of art
Cons: Sensory overload
If you enjoy visiting art museums, Paris really is the place to go to. In the last 20 years or so, Paris museums re-organised their collections and the musée d'Orsay became the receptacle for art dated between 1848 and 1914. ~The Gare d'Orsay~ ...

The French Are Different!

by MsHooterville Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 07 '00
Pros: Pleasing setting, hundreds of varied works
Cons: Difficult to negotiate
My family and I took a trip to Paris last July, and the Musée d'Orsay was one of the sites I most looked forward to seeing. I wasn't disappointed in the least, knowing that I would see hundreds of works by impressionists, sculptors, and craftsmen of Art...

Orson's MUSEE d'ORSAY!

by macresarf1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Feb 27 '00
Pros: The greatest single collection of Impressionist Art, housed in a magnificent old railway station.
Cons: Much smaller than the Louvre but still too much to appreciate in one visit.
Once there was an old railway station. Built in 1900, the Gare d'Orsay was the Grand Central Station of Paris, crossroads of Europe before the Wars changed everything. It was a monolithic structure, built on numerous levels serving Central Paris for ...

The best museum to visit in Paris if you are on a tight schedule!

by buggybug , Jan 08 '04
Pros: Lots of natural lighting, great collection of Impressionism, easy to navigate, not overwhelming
Cons: May have long lines (see Museum Pass note), closed on Mondays
Every time I visit Paris, I make a point to visit the Musee d'Orsay. THE BUILDING First off, this remarkable museum was once a train station! The train station, built from 1898-1900 is architecture from the turn of the century: a gigantic, daring, ...

I am impressed

by AlexG Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 26 '00
Pros: great collection of art, one of the world's most famous museums
Cons: No, Mona Lisa not included
If I had to pick my favorite museum, it would not be the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the Met in New York, the Kunsthistorisches museum in Vienna, or British Museum in London. It would not be the Louvre either.

I would choose the Musee...

Impressionist paintings.. right there in front of you..

by LauraRN , Dec 09 '00
Pros: Impressionist painting exhibit!!
Cons: Can't think of any
My husband and I visited the Musee d'Orsay in November 1999. I loved this place. We spent half the day in the Louvre and the other half in the Musee d'Orsay. The Louvre is more famous and much larger, but the Musee d'Orsay is definitely worth a...

Musee d'Orsay: If You See Nothing Else in Paris...

by diverpam Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 31 '00
Pros: Magnificent artwork, beautiful facility
Cons: None
I visited Paris in June and had only two days. (I managed to squeeze a weekend in Paris during a business trip.) We had to choose only one museum and opted for the Musee d'Orsay because it opened earlier than the Louvre, was likely to be less crowded,...

Food and Art at Musee D'Orsay

by signeann , Mar 08 '01
Pros: It is light and airy with delicious food and tremendous art!
Cons: Can't think of any cons.
We accidentally found a good way to avoid the crowds waiting in line to get into the Musee D'Orsay when we were in Tourist Information on the Champs Elysee. They suggested we buy a Museum Pass which would allow us to go into a number of Museums on one...

Inexpensive and not as overwhelming as the Louvre--go!

by BettyKat , Mar 30 '00
Pros: "accessible" for the average person; spacious and daylight friendly
Cons: none, really
Well, you can see by the little blurb on the Musée d'Orsay that it is housed in a former railway station. And if it wasn't for the blurb, I wouldn't have realized/remembered that its art was "produced between 1848 and 1914." Why, then, am I...

Charming and Elegant

by Kawaii , Jun 20 '00
Pros: Wonderful collection of art, relatively small and easy to navigate
Cons: Well... if you absolutely don't like art, I guess you won't like it...
My art history professor's hint for anyone visiting Paris was "Everything in the Louvre reproduces very well on slides,h implying that we shouldnft focus all our attention on it, and instead make sure to visit the smaller museums of France's...

Musee d'Orsay: Architecture, Art & More

by Caroline99 , Jan 04 '00
Pros: gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous
Cons: always crowded, closed on Mondays
Normally, I am pretty protective of what could become "popular" destinations, because I am naively afraid that some cultural philistine will come along and muck it up, but the musee d'Orsay is already well-known, so I might as well share.

Musee d'Orsay - Impressionists!

by rag47 , Nov 06 '99
Pros: Monet, Renoir, Degas, Manet, Rodin
Cons: None that I can think of
Do you love Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting? Then the Musee d'Orsay in Paris is for you. One of the world's great art museums, it occupies a former railroad station in the St-Germain-des-Pres neighborhood on the left bank. Opened in 1986,...

Art even for non-art lovers

by daglas1 , May 20 '00
Pros: Massive collection of impressionist art
Cons: Massive collection of art (not enough time to see everything!)
I, a sixteen-year-old male, spent my winter break in Paris with my family. The first few days of the trip were going great, but suddenly, I was struck with fear: Wednesday was to be art museum day. I woke up and begrudgingly navigated the Metro to the...

C'est magnifique!

by Rebecca_R , Apr 17 '00
Pros: Beautiful art in a beautiful setting, central location, manageable size
Cons: none
It is rare, indeed, to find an art museum in which the building is as striking as the works it houses. This is certainly the case with Paris's Musée d'Orsay.

I visited the museum in August of 1995. My mother, sister and I were in Paris for an...
