Discover the Musée du Luxembourg: History and Highlights
The Musée du Luxembourg is Paris’ oldest public museum, having first opened its doors in 1750 (albeit in another building, the Palais du Luxembourg). It has experienced numerous transformations over the years but has consistently maintained a significant role in the city’s vibrant artistic life. Notably, it was the first museum to organize a group exhibit dedicated to the Impressionist school, a collection that is now permanently housed at the nearby Musee d’Orsay.
