Musee d'Orsay - Paris - TravBuddy

Although the Lourve is cleary the most well known of Paris's museums, I was ready to go after seeing the Mona Lisa. As someone who likes art, but not the tediousness of having to groom through miles of gallery walls to find something I like, I prefer smaller, more organized museums like Musee d'Orsay (The Orsay Museum).
The museum houses mainly paintings, but also has a nice collection of sculpted art, some of which are by Rodin. One of the things I like best about this museum is it's layout. I love when things are catalogued, and here the paintings are displayed by artist, so if you just want to see,for example, Van Gogh and Renoir, you can easily bypass the rest, see want interests you and then move on to whatever's next on your intinery.
The museum can get busy, particulary, around Van Gogh's work, and my advise to this is be patient - stand back and allow those in front of you to finish 'appreciating'. I had people elbow me to get through and it was extremely irritating!

Expect queues during peak periods (summer ect...) although immediate entry is granted to those with 'The Paris Pass'.
