Musee d’Orsay in Paris Launches Korean Language Programme

The Musée d’Orsay in Paris, France, has together with Korean Air, launched its first-ever Korean-language audio guide.

In addition to the Korean language audio guide, a new set of printed materials, including guide maps and catalogs are now also available in Korean.

The audio guide is now available in ten languages.

Korean Air’s Chairman, Yang Ho Cho, said, “I know that the audio guide with its informative commentary will make it easier for Korean visitors to fully appreciate the important works of art housed at the museum.”

The Musée d’Orsay on the left bank of the river Seine in Paris was formerly a railway station but opened as a museum in December 1986.

The museum holds mainly French art dating between 1848 and 1915, including paintings, sculptures, furniture and photography. It has the largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces in the world, including work by Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh.

The museum is also utilized as a place for performance, education and debate.
