Stop atMusee d'Orsay
Let's dive into one of france's most wonderful museums, the orsay museum. If you are visiting Paris, this is the one place to not miss. Meet your guide at the ' elephant sculpture' located just outside the museum, skip the long lines and discover a world of rebellious artists. In 1874, a group known as the Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors and Engravers presented an exhibition in Paris that would bring about a radical break from artistic conventions and launch one of the most popular movements in art history. Their works were considered scandals and critics would treat them as crazy. It’s hard to imagine, now, that the quality of brushwork or the choice of subject in a painting could shock viewers, but for 19th-century Paris, these paintings represented something akin to a revolution. In this visit both adults and children will discover not only masterpieces such as Manet's Olympia, Monet's Poppy field, Degas's ballet dancers or Van Gogh's bedroom but also a unique life story hidden behind each of these daring painters who fought to obtain recognition.

An outstanding tour by a knowledgeable expert in art history

An outstandingly tour with Cynthia, an art history expert and teacher who made sure we understood the evolution of art overtime, starting with the classical representations, followed by realistic paintings, then impressionism, then expressionism. She taught us about the difficulties progressive artists faced in each. With acceptance from the establishment. This often resulted in impoverishment as the official art academies would not allow their innovative work to be shown and purchased. Progressive artist eventually, had to ban together and create their own shows in order to get their innovations seen by the public. The best tour I ever had.

I was in a hurry when I booked this and missed the part where we were supposed to purchase our own entry ticket. Nevertheless the guide waited and we started a few minutes late. Our guide (Cynthia) was amazing and successfully got our teenage kids to interact which is no small feat! I would recommend this tour.

Amazing Tour Guide

This Musée is my favorite and I forgot you can buy tickets onsite. The only reason bought the tour was because I thought it was sold out! At times it’s better to be lucky than smart, as Cinthia Ramirez, our tour guide was truly exceptional with her knowledge, explaining the history and genuine passion for the Art in the museum. She is absolutely fantastic. I would have gladly paid double the price because of the value she brings to the tour.
