Dear Readers,
As of 13 February 2019, access to the documentation and the library of the conservation will be on the Seine side of the building (entrance place Henry de Montherlant).
Thank you for your understanding.
The database To our great men is on line.
The archive and the library were created before the museum opened to the public, and are reference tools for art historians specialising in the second half of the 19th century. These two entities within the research department are responsible for disseminating and promoting the documentary collections through research projects, and encouraging collaboration with other institutions.The Prix du Musée d'Orsay, is an annual award for the publication of a selected thesis.
Following the terror attacks in Paris on Friday, 13 November 2015 and to ensure the safety of our visitors, the museum is strictly applying the security measures decided by the French authorities.
The museum is fully opened.
Only suitcases, travel bags and backpacks smaller than 60 x 40 cm are allowed.
They may be left in the cloakroom subject to space.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience and delay which may be caused by the extra security checks at the entrance.
