Description

Renowned for its rich collection of Impressionist art, the Musée d'Orsay also houses Western art from 1848 to 1914. Its collections represent all forms of expression, from painting to architecture, including sculpture, the decorative arts, and photography. You will be amazed by the beauty of the building: a station that looks like a palace, inaugurated for the Universal Exhibition in 1900.
