Musée d'Orsay Entry Ticket with Digital Audio Guide, Paris

The audio guide covers selected artworks, not the entire collection, so you choose which rooms to linger in.

Musée d'Orsay entry ticket in Paris's 7th Arrondissement includes a digital audio guide available in 14 languages with commentary on over 300 artworks by Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir and others. The guide is accessed via app on your phone and covers selected pieces rather than the full collection. You set your own pace and entry time on the day you visit. Earphones are not included.

The experience

Musée d'Orsay sits in a converted railway station on the Seine's left bank, and your ticket gets you past the entrance at the Parvis (Entrance 2 Forecourt) to explore the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist galleries on your own schedule. The digital audio guide loads onto your phone before you arrive, giving you commentary in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or nine other languages as you move through the collection. Because the guide is not sequential and the museum's layout shifts with temporary exhibitions, you pick which artworks to listen to instead of following a fixed path.

You have three to four hours to spend here, though there's no time limit once you're inside. The audio guide is separate from the museum's own paid guide, so what you get is curated commentary on the highlights (Monet's water lilies, Renoir's dance scenes, Van Gogh's self-portraits) without the option to hear about every single piece. Flexible entry means you choose your arrival time on the day, so you can avoid the morning crush if you prefer a quieter afternoon. The museum is wheelchair accessible and welcomes service animals. Public transit stops nearby if you're coming from another part of Paris.

Top questions

Can I use the digital audio guide on any phone?

The digital audio guide downloads via a link provided with your ticket and runs on your phone as a separate app, so you'll need a smartphone with the ability to download and run applications. You bring your own device. Earphones or headphones are not included with the ticket.

What artworks does the audio guide actually cover?

The guide includes commentary on over 300 artworks, but it covers selected pieces rather than the entire collection. Because the museum's layout changes with temporary exhibitions and loans to other museums, the guide is not sequential. You choose which rooms and artworks to listen to as you walk through.

How do I get into the museum on the day of my visit?

Scan your voucher at the Parvis entrance (Entrance 2 Forecourt) on your scheduled date. Your ticket is valid for one entry only and must be used on the day you've booked.

What languages is the audio guide available in?

The digital audio guide is available in 14 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and nine others. You select your language when you download the app before your visit.

Is there a live guide included with this ticket?

This ticket includes only the digital audio guide and museum entry. A live guide is not part of this option and would need to be arranged separately if you want one.
