Get ready for two hours of art and culture with this private guided tour of Musée d'Orsay.

Firstly, you will be introduced to the fascinating history of the museum and learn about the Italian architect Gae Aulenti and how she turned an abandoned station into a museum.

You will walk where the train once ran, and admire the art from the mid-nineteenth century to 1914. You will cover realism, impressionism, post-impressionism and art-nouveau. You will discuss Delacroix, Ingres, Courbet, Daumier, Millet, Manet, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Rodin, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec and many others.

Abbiamo avuto l'opportunità di visitare la Gare d’Orsay con Maurizio ed è stata un'esperienza unica! La sua preparazione e conoscenza dell'arte e degli artisti sono impressionanti! Ma soprattutto la sua simpatia e cordialità hanno reso la visita memorabile…non ci siamo mai annoiati! Consigliatissimo

Excellent visite du Musée d'Orsay avec le sympathique Lucas, avec le bon tempo, riche en perspectives historico-politiques illustrant l'evolution de la peiture depuis l'ere academique jusqu'à l'impressionisme et au dela.
