Musée d'Orsay Official Website

Direct links to musee-orsay.fr, what you can do there, and how this site differs. We are an authorised reseller — not the museum itself.

This page links to the official Musée d'Orsay site for institutional information — research access, museum membership (Carte Blanche), press enquiries, the searchable online collection. For booking, the same tickets are available here with free 24-hour cancellation. See also our visitors guide.

Official website

Where to find it

The Musée d'Orsay's official website is musee-orsay.fr. The site is run by the Établissement public du musée d'Orsay et du musée de l'Orangerie directly and is the source of truth for opening hours, current and upcoming exhibitions, accessibility services and academic enquiries.

What the official site offers

A searchable online collection of every painting, sculpture and decorative-arts piece in the museum's holdings, often in zoom-in detail you can't see in person. Exhibition calendars stretching months ahead. Education programmes for schools and adults. The Carte Blanche annual pass with unlimited entry to both the d'Orsay and the Orangerie. Press, research and image-licensing enquiries.

How this site differs

This site exists to make booking faster, with a clearer mobile experience, in more languages and with flexible cancellation up to 24 hours before your slot. Tickets here include the same museum admission as those bought direct. For institutional questions or research access, use the official site.

Phone enquiries to the museum: +33 1 40 49 48 14, Tuesday–Sunday 09:30–17:00.
