A Burial at Ornans is currently displayed at the MusĂ©e dâOrsay in Paris.
Following the death of the artist Gustave Courbet, the painting remained in the collection of his sister, Juliette Courbet, until she gifted it to the French state in 1881. It was housed in the Louvre until 1986, at which point it was transferred to the MusĂ©e dâOrsay, where it remains today.1
