Sculptures of Orsay Museum
The main walkway in the Orsay is a sculpture garden that includes some of the 19th and 20th centuries’ most memorable achievements.
The Gates of Hell by Auguste Rodin
Here, you can visit the original plaster model Rodin made of his magnum opus The Gates of Hell. This work is the original piece that his famous works The Thinker and The Kiss originated from. It is a sprawling vision of genius that must be seen in person to fully understand.
Liberty by Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi
This is a smaller version of the Statue of Liberty that stands at the threshold of New York City, created by the same artist who designed the colossal statue. It is a shock to see, as it is such an iconic image.
Luncheon on the Grass by Edouard Manet
This painting sent shockwaves through the art world of its day. It might be the single most crucial painting for launching the revolt in the arts that led to the many movements that sprang out of the second half of the 19th century.
Dance at Le moulin de la Galette by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
