Absolutely loved Musée d’Orsay! I’ve visited twice and it was one of the main reasons I came to Paris. Both times I spent over three hours and still only made it through the top floor — the paintings are incredible! The staff were lovely and very helpful. I stopped for dinner at the restaurant this time — fresh and delicious, but very expensive for my budget. My suggestion would be a short video explaining Impressionism, the artists and Paris at the time. Having to read was tiring

It is my absolute favorite museum, with a wonderful layout. The best time to visit is just before closing, when the people who love snapping selfies right in front of the masterpieces have left the Impressionist galleries, offering a brief window to truly savor the experience. Perhaps they should introduce special "sessions"—priced higher, but with a no-photography rule? :)

Enjoy a relaxed, self-guided visit through Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, with the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Arrive with your reservation, use reserved entry to step inside, then walk straight into the Orsay Museum permanent collections to begin your visit.

Wander gallery after gallery in the permanent collections, revisit rooms as you like and shape a visit that matches your own pace.

Stay as independent as you like inside the permanent collections, choosing what to focus on and how long to spend in each area during your visit.

Upgrade your visit with an app audio guide or a 2-hour guided tour with an expert English guide, or add a mini guided Seine bridges walking tour.

Add combo upgrades such as Eiffel Tower summit, an Orangerie Museum visit with Water Lilies, a 1-hour Seine cruise, or Paris 1874 VR.

Admission was quick and hassle-free; the locker service is efficient and customer-friendly. The museum itself, with its architecture, is a feast for the eyes.

I really enjoyed my visit to the Musée d’Orsay! The museum is beautiful, and seeing so many famous paintings in person was such a special experience. Booking through Headout was also very easy and convenient. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely use Headout again for another museum visit in Paris.

Everything was very smooth except the link for audioguide was only available for 24 hours. I realized this when I was in the museum and it was too late to fix it. I was on vacation and didn't catch up with my e-mail within 24 hours so easy to miss that and a longer time to use the link would have helped.

I gave you four stars because there was a problem in the app with the Orangerie tickets not printing the barcode. The Orsay. Tickets printed just fine and there was no problem. Other than that hiccup we couldn't be happier with the service. We are definitely using it again for additional bookings.

Explore the Orsay Museum with reserved access, flexible visit options, and optional upgrades for deeper art discovery.

Getting started

Go through security checks, then enter directly to begin exploring the permanent collections and any temporary exhibitions included in your ticket. If your option includes an app-based audio guide or virtual reality experience, follow the link shared with your ticket and use your own headphones.

What to expect

Orsay Museum

Housed in a former railway station, the Orsay Museum is dedicated to 19th and early 20th century art, with extensive Impressionist and post-Impressionist collections.

Features

Access the museum’s permanent collections, and, if you select the relevant option, explore temporary exhibits during your visit.

See highlights such as Luncheon on the Grass by Manet and Starry Night Over the Rhône by Van Gogh if you choose the Orsay Museum + Orangerie Museum entry ticket option, which emphasizes these masterpieces at Orsay.

Use the app-based audio guide, available in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Chinese, if you select an audio guide option for self-guided commentary separate from the museum’s own device.

Join a 2-hour guided tour with an expert English-speaking guide if you select this option, and get structured insights into key works across the permanent collections and temporary exhibits.

Benefit from reserved access tickets as standard, and from fast-track entry to the Orsay Museum if you select a fast-track variant for quicker access to the galleries.
