The Musée d'Orsay, a national museum located in a former railway station, famously holds the world's largest collection of Impressionist art. Visitors can admire The Luncheon on the Grass by Édouard Manet, Dance at Le Moulin de la galette by Renoir, and many others, including works by Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, and Claude Monet. The centre of the museum is dedicated to post-impressionists, prominently featuring Paul Gauguin, and his Tahitian Women on the Beach and Self Portrait In a Hat.

The Musée d'Orsay gives visitors the opportunity to see each successive Western movement of art. The romanticism of Eugène Delacroix, the symbolism of Odilon Redon, and the realism of Gustave Courbet are prominently featured. Visitors can admire 23 paintings by Vincent Van Gogh and sculptures by Rodin and Camille Claudel.

The museum's auditorium hosts multiple conferences, concerts, shows, and more. Additionally, temporary exhibitions supplement the permanent collections throughout the year.
