Musée D'Orsay

Museum of 19th- and early 20th-century painting, sculpture, decorative arts, and photography, opened at the former Gare du Quai d'Orsay (Orsay quayside railway station), Paris, France, in 1986. The museum includes collections from leading artists, mostly French, from the Romantic, neoclassical, realist, Impressionist, post-Impressionist, and pointillist schools.

The building, completed in 1900, is located on the Left Bank of the River Seine across from the Tuileries gardens and is renowned for its grand Beaux Arts structure. Due to decreased railway travel, it had fallen into disuse by the 1970s and was restored and remodeled in the early 1980s.
