Good overview of the Collection - Laurence was a good guide, taking us from room to room in this pretty big museum & talking about the different painters & paintings. We were lucky enough that it wasn't too busy during early January.

The visit was great! Our... - The visit was great! Our guide knew the material and presented it in a fun yet very informative way. The art and its history were fascinating. The history of the ballerinas is heartbreaking. Additionally, the history of artists in wealthy vs lower class families was equally enlightening. Friends had told me that visiting Musée D’Orsay was a must! Indeed, it is a must for every traveler to Paris.

A great experience with Laurence - Laurence was an exceptional guide! We enjoyed learning about 18th and 19th century art history and artists as she walked us through the crowded salons of the Musée d’Orsay. She had deep knowledge, an enthusiastic style, and a fun theatrical presentation that really brought the time period and artists to life. We would give her 10 stars!
