Museums Night is a unique night, first because it's free and also because museums often offers many entertainments providing a new light on the collections. At the Musée d’Orsay the teams enjoy the success of the "Black Models" exhibition to throw an exceptional event this Saturday May 18, 2019: the Night of the Models.
All night long, from 6 p.m., lecturers, students and dancers will come to the spaces of the former railway station to take us behind the scenes and show us the process of creating works visible in the musuems, thousands of works created in Occident between 1850 and 1914!
Among the masterpieces displayed at the museum, L'Origine du Monde (1866) by Gustave Courbet, Emile Zola (1868) by Edouard Manet, Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe (1863) by Edouart Manet, the Autoportrait (1889) by Vincent Van Gogh, the Little Dancer of Fourteen Years (1865-1881) by Edgar Degas, Les Raboteurs de Parquet (1875) by Gustave Caillebotte.
