This summer, art enthusiasts and travelers seeking an unforgettable experience have a chance to turn their dream of sleeping amidst the masterpieces of the Musée d’Orsay into reality. Airbnb’s new ‘Icons’ initiative is bringing this iconic Parisian museum to its platform, offering a one-night stay in a transformed clock room on July 26, 2024 – the day of the Paris Olympic Games’ Opening Ceremony. To secure this extraordinary opportunity, hopeful guests must enter a lottery system starting on May 21, 2024. The lucky winners will be granted complimentary access to this unique accommodation, designed by Mathieu Lehanneur, the creative force behind the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch. Nestled within the heart of the museum, the clock room has been reimagined as a luxurious bedroom, adorned with wood paneling, a vaulted ceiling, and an oversized glass and steel clock that provides breathtaking views of the Parisian cityscape. Suspended above the ground, the bed is the focal point of the room, flanked by luminous ceramic flowers and expansive sofas that create an intimate lounge ambiance. This exclusive experience extends beyond the private bedroom, as guests will also have the privilege of exploring the museum’s renowned Impressionist collection after hours and embarking on an exclusive tour of a hidden space not accessible to the general public. The Musée d’Orsay, a former train station, is renowned worldwide for its captivating collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, including masterpieces by Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, and Van Gogh. Its iconic clock face, one of the museum’s most recognizable features, will serve as the backdrop for this unforgettable overnight stay. Ranked as the second-best attraction in Paris on Tripadvisor, surpassing the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay has captivated travelers with its stunning architecture and impressive art collection. Visitors rave about the museum’s intimate ambiance and the opportunity to experience art in a less crowded setting compared to the Louvre. For those seeking an unparalleled blend of art, history, and Parisian charm, this Airbnb ‘Icons’ experience at the Musée d’Orsay presents an opportunity not to be missed.
