Additional Information

Discover in a 1.5-hour tour the exceptional collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art at the Orangerie Museum, presented by an expert guide with a distinctive perspective on art.

This intimate museum is set at the crossroads of the 19th and 20th centuries, both chronologically and thematically. The collection encompasses what many art historians deem the most thrilling era in art history, from the Renaissance to the present day—the experimental avant-garde. This period includes numerous -isms (Post-Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism, Surrealism…), influences from so-called primitive art, and responses to the tumultuous early decades of the 20th century. It represents a true explosion of creativity, mingled with profound despair and elevated enthusiasm. The museum also features Monet’s monumental and awe-inspiring canvases. This visit is a must-see in Paris.

More than just an art tour - Yes, the museum itself is a wonder. Yes, the art is enough to keep you immersed for a long while. And yet, Boris finds a way to make the experience even more enjoyable with choice tidbits of history and spicy details behind some of the works. You will not regret going on this tour, believe me.

Depth, quality, humour and surprises! - Boris led a thoroughly comprehensive and thought-provoking tour, with depth that was a change from the banal and ordinary which one could easily discover oneself on Google. Instead, we were taken on a sort of artistic adventure into aesthetics, light and shade, the lives of artists, of Parisian salons, France & Europe across the centuries from Catholicism to secularism, and beyond. Where one may expect a few hours of distraction to fill up a day and tick a tourist box, one left having acquired something truly meaningful.
