Housed in the former Gare d'Orsay railway station from 1900, it represents a unique combination of architecture and art.

An art museum in Paris, housed in the former Gare d'Orsay railway station, built in 1900. The collection mainly covers French art from 1848-1914, including works by Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. Here you can admire iconic paintings by Monet, Renoir, Degas, Manet, van Gogh, and Gauguin. The museum building, with its magnificent main hall and clock, is itself a valuable example of Beaux-Arts architecture and an integral part of the exhibition.
