Beating out the British Museum and the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay, nestled on the banks of the Seine, takes first place, boasting a 79% 5-star rating.

It boasts the world's largest collection of Impressionist art and is one of Paris' three great art treasures. The museum's treasures are countless. Here are a few: Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait" and "The Cathedral at L'Avres"; Monet's "Impression, Sunrise" and "Woman in the Wind"; Millet's "The Gleaners"; Gustave's "The Origin of the World," and so on.
