About
Hurtige fakta: Lyset strømmer gennem den enorme urskive og de høje glasvinduer, så penselstrøgene får en nærmest skulpturel dybde. Samlingen tæller omkring 3.000 værker fra det sene 1800-tal, hvilket gør det muligt at følge en dramatisk udvikling i farve og teknik på få skridt.
Højdepunkter: Bygningen blev opført som banegård til Verdensudstillingen i 1900, og du kan stadig stille dig bag det kæmpestore, runde ur og se floden og Sacré-Cœur indrammet gennem glasset som et gammeldags kamera. Samlingen koncentrerer sig om perioden fra 1848 til 1914 og rummer ikoniske værker af Monet, Van Gogh og Renoir, så du næsten kan føle penselstrøgets tekstur og lugte terpentin i de tætte, levende farver.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries span several floors and the building is expansive.
- Head to the top-floor near the big clock for iconic photos of the Seine framed by the clock face.
- Avoid mid-morning and midday when coach groups arrive, aim for opening or late afternoon.
- Photography without flash is allowed in the permanent collection, but step aside for other visitors and leave tripods at home.
