Thanks so much, I really enjoyed your in-depth review of this exhibit. I’m planning a trip to Washington in the fall to see it at the US National Gallery of Art and your sneak peek of what to expect has me very excited about it!
Oh yes - it is going to be really interesting to see how this is staged in Wahington. I really hope you enjoy it. The crowds will be better managed in Washington too! I have visited that wonderful gallery. Thank you for watching.
I went to this Exhibition in its last week. As I did the previous year, I bought a ticket 2 weeks ahead with a time entry of 9.30. Arrived 15 minutes early . Queue was short and I didn't suffer from overcrowding. I had not seen Monet's original impressionist painting, so that was a joy as was Renoir's Bal du moulin de la Galette & Manet's Railway although the latter ,as you pointed out this, was displayed in the Salon
That is useful to hear. I must get that very early entry ticket next time there is a show on. My ticket was at 10.00am and by then, the queue just to get in was 45 minutes long and horrible inside but still really lovely to see.Monet's impressions. Thank you for watching.
Great film and chapeau to the Mixer DOrsay for genuinely interesting curation. I understand that there has been some debate at the Louvre about crowd volume and possibly charging separately for ticketed viewing of The Mona Lisa to bring down the congestion in the gallery. Perhaps this might be a start in addressing this across the sector?
Hi Sue, thank you for watching and for that info. I very much hope so. It was way too much at both Musée D'orsay and the Pompidou on this last visit so I hope there is some kind of change. Having been back in London galleries since, they have seemed positively empty!
very interesting curatorial juxtapositioning and thank you for your informative commentary and managing to capture images of artworks despite the challenges of jostling crowds. During covid the Pompidou Centre created several videos of artworks on display in its galleries during that time, and I was impressed by the curation and insightful commentary which on a few occasions was even in english!. perhaps curating is something the French have a particular flair for?
Thank you once again for watching. I found that the curation of the two big shows I saw in Paris were both really good and creative. A nice academic but accessible voice and trying to think about reframing art history - really enjoyable!
I wasn't expecting to see your face when I clicked on this! Very interesting regarding the history which seems to have been distorted through time. About the crowds - I was there 2 years ago and they were unbearable then - this was in the permanent Impressionist/post impressionist galleries and I had to give up hope most of the time.
Thanks for comments as always, Matt, and really interesting info. I hadn't been to d'Orsay since well before Covid. It's ridiculous- like you, I am used to busy crowds in London but this was just unpleasant. Way over sold. I went to the Brancusi show as well (vlog upcoming!) and that was also rammed to the point of craziness. It was only more bearable because the galleries at The Pompidou are bigger and his later works were also bigger so more room to enjoy them. Such a shame. The smaller private galleries were bliss by comparison!
Another excellent review. I'm really smitten by the works of Morrisot and Pissarro, so thanks for showing so many of those works. Regarding the crowding, when we visited in 2023 we saw the Manet exhibition. It was so crowded that I really nearly did pass out with so many people trying to get in those small rooms. I think that's the reality of mass tourism in Paris. overwhelming overwhelming in
Thank you so much, again, for watching. Really interesting to hear of your experiences in Paris last year - I hadn't been since COVID and had forgotten of the sheer level of mass tourism! I do think the specific exhibitions (as opposed to the general displays) need to be more tightly ticketed. I, like you, felt physically uncomfortable .
I love the changes 😍😍 keep up the amazing videos! I’m trying to get as many of my instagram followers to subscribe to your channel as your content is perfect!👌🏻👌🏻
@@artgalleryexplorer you’re welcome! Will you be planning on doing a video on the Newport street gallerie’s latest exhibition? Curated by Damien Hirst’s son ☺️
Great video and especially helpful. Operational question: I'm an American. I visited Musee D'Orsay in May with the intention to see the Paris 1874 exhibition - and yes the crowds were torture all around. Long story short, I was unable to see the Paris 1874. Does anyone know if I can access the audio and sync it with photos a friend took and shared with me. I know it would be cumbersome. I would even purchase another ticket just to be able to download the audio. Is this doable? I've messaged the museum, but have not heard back after one month. Many thanks. Art Gallery Explorer, love your podcast. Most definitely will subscribe
Thank you for watching and an interesting question. I am really sorry that you didn't get to see it. The exhibition is coming to an end and so I wonder if the audio will then be put on the website? Does anyone out there have any answers to this??

I particularly enjoyed the Machine at Marly by Sisley as it was new to me. Thanks for making the trek and making the exhibition available here.
@@thomascreeley867 That was one I hadn't seen, as well. Thank you for watching.
Thanks very much ❤

@@artgalleryexplorer Thank you Explorer!! I'll watch for it - possibly on the website. Looking forward to your next video.
The Renoir at 17:57 is a surprise; never seen before; no where near as cloying as his most famous and over- reproduced works.
Thank you for watching and yes - a proper impressionist work - it could have been produced by Monet.
