“A very interesting visit with surprising architectural heritage. What luck to have the SAMO to open these doors to us, which are closed to mere mortals!”

“I was delighted to rediscover our magnificent Orsay Museum and finally see the Léopold Chauveau and James Tissot exhibitions (following the Covid period). Each of them was fascinating to me – Chauveau for his poetry which appeals to those of all ages, and Tissot for his documentary view on the French and English aristocracy of the 19th century. I greatly appreciated that this visit was conducted with ease, as well as with the proper sanitary conditions, thanks to its reserved timeslots and required use of masks. Bravo for this successful return, which soothes our hearts.”

“Return to the Orsay Museum on Monday, June 29th, following three months of closing. It was almost a childlike pleasure to rediscover not one’s school, but one’s museum – a cultural anchor. Optimal conditions for the visit. Discovery of the In the Land of Monsters exhibition, featuring the work of an artist that is too little known, Léopold Chauveau, but who – thanks to our museum – is now showcased. Magical moments to relive without moderation.”
