What makes Orsay Masterpieces for adults – optional “families & kids” a unique experience ?
Let’s dive into one of france’s most wonderful museums, the orsay museum. If you are visiting Paris, this is the one place to not miss. Meet your guide at the ‘ elephant sculpture’ located just outside the museum, skip the long lines and discover a world of rebellious artists. In 1874, a group known as the Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors and Engravers presented an exhibition in Paris that would bring about a radical break from artistic conventions and launch one of the most popular movements in art history. Their works were considered scandals and critics would treat them as crazy. It’s hard to imagine, now, that the quality of brushwork or the choice of subject in a painting could shock viewers, but for 19th-century Paris, these paintings represented something akin to a revolution. In this visit both adults and children will discover not only masterpieces such as Manet’s Olympia, Monet’s Poppy field, Degas’s ballet dancers or Van Gogh’s bedroom but also a unique life story hidden behind each of these daring painters who fought to obtain recognition.
