Guided Tour of Musée d'Orsay
Tours
Directions

In the late 19th century, a group of young painters dared to defy the rules established by the Academy of Fine Arts. Rejected by the official salons, they chose to exhibit their works in a different way and invented a new pictorial language. But why did their paintings, which are so highly regarded today, cause such a scandal at the time?

Through iconic masterpieces, you’ll explore the birth of Impressionism, its rejection by the establishment, and its gradual triumph. Amid luminous portraits, scenes of Parisian life, and landscapes that capture the moment, immerse yourself in this artistic adventure that forever transformed painting.
