The Musée d'Orsay is a world-class art museum housed in a stunning former railway station, famous for its exceptional Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection featuring works by Van Gogh, Monet, and Manet. The fifth floor and the iconic giant glass clock with views over Paris are must-sees. Plan for at least half a day to explore properly, and note that popular exhibits like the Renoir and Van Gogh sections get extremely crowded during peak hours—visiting Thursday evenings or during special evening openings offers a quieter, more intimate experience.
