✨ A Night of No Sleep in Paris—Exploring the Orsay Museum 🧚🫧

First Stop: Orsay Museum 🏫 The architecture of the Orsay Museum itself is stunning and unique. Even after visiting several other major museums, I still believe the building and exhibits here are top-notch. The original train station clock remains, and the sculpture gallery on the lower level used to be a train track. The glass dome fills the entire space with light, creating an airy atmosphere. The statues placed throughout seem almost alive, each striking a different pose and exuding beauty. 🎨 Collection: Orsay is famous for its rich collection of Impressionist works. The 5th floor showcases masterpieces by Monet, Manet, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne, and Van Gogh. The museum also houses numerous 19th-century works, with many sculptures on the lower and middle floors. At the end of the sculpture gallery, you’ll find Rodin’s The Gates of Hell. After exploring, I felt that the collection was incredibly diverse, and I even discovered a few new artists to follow! 🖼️ 🎫 Tickets: There’s a window at the entrance of Orsay where you can purchase the Paris Museum Pass. I bought a 4-day pass for €90. There are also 2-day and 6-day options available. This pass grants access to the Louvre, Pompidou Center, Orangerie, Rodin Museum, and attractions like the Arc de Triomphe and Panthéon. It’s definitely more convenient and economical than buying individual tickets! 🚪💸 The best part? There’s a special entrance for pass holders, reducing wait times. 🍝 Restaurants: The Orsay Museum has two restaurants located on the 2nd and 5th floors. The 2nd-floor option has a more elegant atmosphere and serves formal French cuisine, while the 5th-floor café has a more casual vibe with light meals. 🚇 Transportation & Location: Situated by the Seine River, just cross a bridge to reach the Tuileries Garden, with the Orangerie Museum and Louvre at either end. The metro line C has a station named Orsay Museum, making it very convenient to access. #Paris #OrsayMuseum #ParisMuseums #ParisMuseumPass #MissingTheWorldEveryDay #MustSeeExhibits #AllAboutArt
