Mary Cassatt at the Musée d’Orsay: the independent Impressionist
For the centenary of her death, the Musée d’Orsay devotes a major retrospective to Mary Cassatt, the American pioneer of Impressionism in France. Around 80 works are on show until 31 January 2027. A lovely Sunday idea, a few metro stops from Hôtel Concortel.
