Paris's Musée d'Orsay holds 22 works by Georges Seurat (1859–1891) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Seurat's pointillist technique — thousands of tiny dots of pure colour applied with scientific precision — can only be fully understood in person, where you can step back to see the image cohere and step forward to see the method. His major works are very large and demand to be experienced at exhibition scale.

Planning your visit to Paris
Pre-book entry to the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, especially in summer — queues without a ticket can exceed an hour. Many Paris museums offer free entry on the first Sunday of each month. A day transport pass (carnet) is better value than buying individual Métro tickets.
