Musee d'Orsay

The grand building, located just opposite Tuileries Garden with a beautiful view of the Louvre, was built as a train station – Gare d’Orsay – for the World’s Fair in 1900. When the building was protected as a historical monument in 1978, it gradually became a museum, exhibiting breathtaking collections from 19th century pre-impressionists and impressionists to great names such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Manet, Tissot, Renoir, and so many more.
