French Impressionism at the Musee D'Orsay traces the history of the Museum and its celebrated masterpieces from artists such as Manet, Renior and many others.

Through its broad tidal waves of light and color, the Impressionist Movement redirected the harsh realism and exaggerated idealism in European art in the late nineteenth century.

This film explores the significant aspects of Impressionism and how the Musee D'Orsay has become the worldwide home of works from the Impressionist Movement. Originally used as a train station and sitting in its stunning location along the River Seine, since opening its doors in 1986, the Musee D'Orsay is now one of the unsurpassed museums exhibiting the artistic heritage of France.
