If you like impressionist art, you MUST visit this museum. It has an extensive collection housed in a former train station. The outdoor sculptures alone are worth seeing. more

I loved this museum more than the Louvre. A must do in Paris. Avoid both museums if you see tour busses with Asians because their culture is so different from ours that they can seem extremely rude and ruin the experience. If you like Toulouse le trec then you will see more of his work at D'orsay than the Louvre.... more

If you don't like the paintings in Louvre or Versailles, don't come here. It's much more complicated stuffs, arts only. But if you are an art-lover, especially of classical and impressionism, then this museum is surely your heaven. Because of the previous reason, it also has a more selected (educated) visitors.

Clearly, one can see this when walking through the building's main level with its high arched roof, numerous skylights, and large clock. I visited the museum on a late afternoon in May.

My recommendation is to get there early in the morning, or much later in the day. They are open until 9 ish on Thursday nights, so that's... more

Loved this place, just the right size and beautiful paintings! more

I can honestly say this has been the best museum I have visited – I visited the Louvre 2 days prior and was disappointed . This museum was much easier to navigate and seemed to have more soul – the tea room on the 5th floor was nice and I didn’t feel that expensive. The restaurant on the 2nd floor... more

Visited in March 2009 and loved it. Bought a day 'passport ticket' for the d'Orsay and the d'Orangerie which I felt was very good value. Contents: Incredible! There must surely be something for everyone but I particularly enjoyed the Moreau, the sculpture (I fell in love with poor dead marble Abel), the Montmartre connection peices and the Art Nouveau section.... more
