The Musée d'Orsay continues its partnership with the Collège de France, offering its professors a unique insight into its collections. Drawing on their respective disciplines, Collège de France professors offer an erudite, offbeat reading of a work chosen from the collections, and a fresh look at the 19th century, in the form of a dialogue with Musée d'Orsay curators. A podcast of each lecture is available on all platforms.

Prior booking required on the Musée d'Orsay website.
